Reconstructing transparent objects from a set of multi-view images is a challenging task due to the complicated nature and indeterminate behavior of light propagation. Typical methods are primarily tailored to specific scenarios, such as…
Diffraction of light upon interaction with thick slabs of a dielectric material having a periodic modulation of its refractive index (or dielectric tensor) is typically studied with the aid of the method known as the rigorous coupled-wave…
Pixel size in cameras and other refractive imaging devices is typically limited by the free-space diffraction. However, a vast majority of semiconductor-based detectors are based on materials with substantially high refractive index. We…
