| 1. | In this way, physical optics recovers Brewster's angle.
|
| 2. | It covers little of what would now be termed physical optics.
|
| 3. | Gaussian beam propagation thus bridges the gap between geometric and physical optics.
|
| 4. | It represents a simplified version of the more rigorous treatment of physical optics.
|
| 5. | It was invented by a U . S . company called Physical Optics Corporation.
|
| 6. | Scattering off of matter is radiative transfer, and the Wolf effect is physical optics.
|
| 7. | Gibbs also worked on the application of Maxwell's equations to problems in physical optics.
|
| 8. | Award honors a scientist who has made outstanding contributions to the scientific field of physical optics.
|
| 9. | It is also used for simulation and analysis of optical systems using both geometrical and physical optics.
|
| 10. | This work led to a theory of diffraction for light and opened an entire area of study in physical optics.
