The diffraction pattern of the two objects and its inverse Fourier transform, denoted , are presented in Fig. 1b,c, respectively. The latter, which is the autocorrelation of the signal, ...

When a laser beam is incident on a narrow opaque object such as a fine wire or a strand of hair, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a slit of the same width as ...

The spacing of these bright spots, known as “Bragg peaks” after the father-and-son crystallographers who pioneered diffraction in the 1910s, reveals the organization of the scattering objects.

Quantum physics tell us that even massive particles can behave like waves, as if they could be in several places at once. This phenomenon is typically proven in the diffraction of a matter wave at ...

Diffraction gratings like these have a number of other uses as well; the video also shows a specific pattern being used to focus a telescope for astrophotography, and a few others in the past have ...

The measurement and evaluation time for transparent or deep black objects using goROBOT3D has been reduced from 15 to just under 1.5 seconds. To this end, a new projection method for thermal 3D ...

Reflecting telescopes, like NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, produce “diffraction spikes” when they are used to image bright objects like stars. JWST’s unique design means that it has ...

Diffraction spikes are caused by interference due to the wave nature of light. The patterns produced depend on the shape of the telescope’s mirror and the number of spider struts.
