  2. Backscatter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter

    in X-ray imaging, backscattering means just the opposite of transmission imaging; in inelastic neutron or X-ray spectroscopy, backscattering geometry is chosen because it optimizes the energy resolution; in astronomy, backscattered light is that which is reflected with a phase angle of less than 90°.

  3. Haze (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haze_(optics)

    Reflection Haze is an optical phenomenon usually associated with high gloss surfaces, it is a common surface problem that can affect appearance quality. The reflection from an ideal high gloss surface should be clear and radiant, however, due to scattering at imperfections in the surface caused by microscopic structures or textures (≈ 0.01 mm wavelength) the reflection can appear milky or ...

  4. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflectance...

    Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, or diffuse reflection spectroscopy, is a subset of absorption spectroscopy.It is sometimes called remission spectroscopy.Remission is the reflection or back-scattering of light by a material, while transmission is the passage of light through a material.

  5. Diffuse reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflection

    Diffuse interreflection is a process whereby light reflected from an object strikes other objects in the surrounding area, illuminating them. Diffuse interreflection specifically describes light reflected from objects which are not shiny or specular. In real life terms what this means is that light is reflected off non-shiny surfaces such as ...

  6. Anti-reflective coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-reflective_coating

    For the simplified scenario of visible light travelling from air (n 0 ≈ 1.0) into common glass (n S ≈ 1.5), the value of R is 0.04, or 4%, on a single reflection. So at most 96% of the light (T = 1 − R = 0.96) actually enters the glass, and the rest is reflected from the surface. The amount of light reflected is known as the reflection loss.

  7. Optical coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coating

    The thicknesses of the layers are generally quarter-wave (then they yield to the broadest high reflection band in comparison to the non-quarter-wave systems composed from the same materials), this time designed such that reflected beams constructively interfere with one another to maximize reflection and minimize transmission. The best of these ...

  8. Transfer-matrix method (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer-matrix_method...

    The reflection of light from a single interface between two media is described by the Fresnel equations. However, when there are multiple interfaces , such as in the figure, the reflections themselves are also partially transmitted and then partially reflected.

  9. Distinctness of image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinctness_of_image

    Distinctness of image (DOI) is a quantification of the deviation of the direction of light propagation from the regular direction by scattering during transmission or reflection. DOI is sensitive to even subtle scattering effects; the more light is being scattered out of the regular direction the more the initially sharp (well defined) image is ...
