We have applied small angle scattering in grazing incidence beam geometry on a time-of-flight neutron instrument. Due to the broad wavelength distribution provided for a specific incident beam angle the penetration depth of the neutron beam…
Light refraction, i.e. the bending of the path of a light wave at the interface between two different dielectric media, is ubiquitous in optics. Refraction arises from the different speed of light and is unavoidable in continuous media…

It is shown that the light scattered by a finite 2D crystal strip in the region of an exciton resonance should display strong backscattering. This phenomenon is related to the exciton reflection from the edge of the strip.
A light beam changes direction as it enters a liquid at an angle from another medium, such as air. Should the liquid contain molecules that lack mirror symmetry, then it has been predicted by Fresnel that the light beam will not only change…

Conventional surface-relief gratings are inefficient at deflecting normally-incident light by large angles. This constrains their use in many applications and limits the overall efficiency of any optical instrument integrating gratings.…
