I know its something related to the asymmentry in the i-d curve but its still not clear.
Whats the principle behind Schuster Focusing?

In summary, Schuster Focusing, also known as Schuster's Method, is a technique used in seismic exploration to enhance the quality of seismic data. It works by using the principle of constructive interference to combine multiple seismic traces and create a focused image of the subsurface. This technique was developed by Arthur Schuster in the early 20th century and can improve the resolution and quality of seismic data, allowing for a clearer image of the subsurface and the identification of smaller or deeper features. However, it has limitations such as requiring a large amount of data and relying on the assumption that all seismic traces have the same source-receiver distance.

there's lots of info on google etc, here's a couple of links, I'm sure with just a little effort, you can find many moreTachyonLord said:

Dave1. What is Schuster Focusing?
Schuster Focusing is a scientific principle used to enhance the resolution of images or signals by focusing them through a medium with varying refractive index.
2. How does Schuster Focusing work?
Schuster Focusing works by using a medium with a varying refractive index, such as a lens or a gradient-index material, to bend the path of light or signals in a way that they converge at a single point, resulting in a sharper and more focused image or signal.
3. What is the difference between Schuster Focusing and traditional focusing?
The main difference between Schuster Focusing and traditional focusing is that Schuster Focusing involves the use of a medium with varying refractive index, while traditional focusing uses a single lens or mirror to bend light or signals.
4. What are the applications of Schuster Focusing?
Schuster Focusing has a wide range of applications in various fields such as microscopy, astronomy, and telecommunications. It is used to improve the resolution and quality of images and signals, making it an essential tool in scientific research and technology.
5. Are there any limitations to Schuster Focusing?
Like any scientific principle, Schuster Focusing also has its limitations. It works best with monochromatic light or signals and may not be as effective with polychromatic sources. It also requires precise control and calibration of the medium's refractive index, which can be challenging in some applications.
