Describing the phenomenon of total internal reflection in terms of a reflection coefficient of unit magnitude, we found that, not only can propagating plane waves be total internally reflected at the planar interface of two dissimilar,…

A translation surface of Euclidean space $\r^3$ is the sum of two regular curves $\alpha$ and $\beta$, called the generating curves. In this paper we classify the minimal translation surfaces of $\r^3$ and we give a method of construction…

Summary. A modified version of the two-slit experiment is proposed in which the moveable detector/counter used to obtain the fringe distribution by counting single photons at different positions on the screen plane is replaced with a mirror…

A formula for the wavefront of a wave reflected from a diffraction grating with an arbitrary surface profile, as well as with arbitrary non-equidistant and non-parallel grooves was obtained. It was shown that the wavefront of the reflected…

In this work, we propose a novel method for the detailed reconstruction of transparent objects by exploiting polarimetric cues. Most of the existing methods usually lack sufficient constraints and suffer from the over-smooth problem. Hence,…

This manuscript will unify inverse freeform reflector design and surface light scattering to design freeform reflectors with a scattering surface. We use microfacets, which are small, tilted mirrors superimposed on a smooth surface. We form…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety, and let Y in X be a smooth very ample hypersurface such that -K_Y is nef. Using the technique of relative Gromov-Witten invariants, we give a new short and geometric proof of (a version of) the…

We present here a general approach to treat reflection and refraction of light of arbitrary polarization from single axis anisotropic plates. We show that reflection from interface inside the anisotropic medium is accompanied by beam…

View-dependent effects such as reflections pose a substantial challenge for image-based and neural rendering algorithms. Above all, curved reflectors are particularly hard, as they lead to highly non-linear reflection flows as the camera…
