How Do Different Diffraction Grating Designs Affect Analysis Results?

AI Thread Summary
Different diffraction grating designs can significantly influence analysis results in optical experiments. The choice of grating pattern affects the resolution and clarity of the resulting diffraction patterns. Utilizing computer software and Fourier transforms can enhance the analysis of these patterns. Designing gratings that produce distinct and varied diffraction patterns is crucial for effective analysis. Exploring resources like HyperPhysics can provide valuable insights into optimal grating designs.

Hi,
I'm doing my third year project on diffraction gratings and patterns and analysaing them via computer software and Fourier transforms. I'm going to design my diffraction gratings this week and then create them via taking a picture with a disposable camera and using the negative film. What diffraction gratings should i design which would produce interesting analysis?
Kind regards, Patrick.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
