This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode lasers, and now fiber lasers. One of the newer entries is the MOPA laser, ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

Mimicking nature A material designed to mimic a quirky iridescent patch on a butterfly's wing may help prevent counterfeiting, say US engineers. The 'photonic' material, so called because it affects ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Quarterly of Applied Mathematics, Vol. 7, No. 1 (APRIL, 1949), pp. 45-64 (20 pages) The problem of diffraction and scattering of a normally incident plane wave of sound by an infinite plane grating ...

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, USA, August 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Inprentus Team has released a White Paper entitled “Simulated versus measured efficiency ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 250, No. 1263 (Apr. 7, 1959), pp. 439-459 (21 pages) An intricate repetitive fringe pattern, due to the ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...
