Young TIM: A wave-optics simulator with slightly special powers
Sean Leavey, Johannes Courtial
Wave optics is a prominent part of the undergraduate physics curriculum, and many undergraduate labs contain experiments on wave optics. In our 3rd-year undergraduate lab, we run n…
Fractal light from lasers
Hend Sroor, Darryl Naidoo, Steven W. Miller +3
Fractals, complex shapes with structure at multiple scales, have long been observed in Nature: as symmetric fractals in plants and sea shells, and as statistical fractals in clouds…
Three-dimensional, self-similar, light in unstable canonical optical resonators
Steven W. Miller, John Nelson, Johannes Courtial
The eigenmodes of unstable canonical optical resonators possess fractal structure in their transverse intensity cross-sections [Karman et al., Nature 402, 138 (1999)]. In one parti…
Perfect imaging with planar interfaces
Stephen Oxburgh, Johannes Courtial
We describe the most general homogenous, planar, light-ray-direction-changing sheet that performs one-to-one imaging between object space and image space. This is a non-trivial spe…
Dr TIM: Ray-tracer TIM, with additional specialist scientific capabilities
Stephen Oxburgh, Tomas Tyc, Johannes Courtial
We describe several extensions to TIM, a raytracing program for ray-optics research. These include relativistic raytracing; simulation of the external appearance of Eaton lenses, L…
Law of refraction for generalised confocal lenslet arrays
Stephen Oxburgh, Chris D. White, Georgios Antoniou +1
We derive the law of generalised refraction for generalised confocal lenslet arrays, which are arrays of misaligned telescopes. We have implemented this law of refraction in TIM, a…
