A Diffraction Effect Investigation for the Solar Irradiance Absolute Radiometer on the Fengyun-3F Satellite
The measurements of the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is a primary means to investigate solar activity and key measurement for understanding global...

The Casimir Effect for Diffraction Gratings, Symmetry Breaking, and Geometric Transitions
AbstractThe theory of the Casimir effect for diffraction gratings is considered; symmetry breaking in geometric transitions is discussed.

What Huygens Could Have Written on Diffraction
This is a highly speculative chapter. As far as we know Huygens never said or wrote anything on diffraction. Yet Huygens’ principle is perfectly fit...

Diffraction-Limited Optics and Techniques
The potential diffraction-limited angular resolution of an X-ray telescope with aperture diameter D = 1 m operating at 1 keV is Δθ ≈ λ∕D = 260 μ arc...
