Vignetting in camera lenses is generally seen as something to avoid. For spectral cameras with thin-film interference filters, however, we argue that vignetting can be an advantage. When illuminated by focused light, the bandwidth of…
A beam of light, reflected at a planar interface, does not follow perfectly the ray optics prediction. Diffractive corrections lead to beam shifts; either the reflected beam is displaced (spatial shift) and/or travels in a different…
