Predicting Surface Scatter Using A Linear Systems Formulation Of Non-paraxial Scalar Diffraction
Scattering effects from rough surfaces are non-paraxial diffraction phenomena resulting from random phase variations in the reflected wavefront. The ability to predict these effects is important in a variety of applications including x-ray and EUV imaging, the design of stray light rejection …

The Hidden History of Western Washington Logging Camps: St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company’s Camp #5 ca. 1934-1947
… documentation of a SPTLC Camp #5, an 80 by 71 m surface scatter dominated by broken glass, ceramics, and tin cans. Diagnostic artifacts were most likely all manufactured before 1947, which is consistent with SPTLC maps that state Camp #5 was in use from 1934 through 1947. The nature of these …

Optimizing The Performance Of As-manufactured Grazing Incidence X-ray Telescopes Using Mosaic Detector Arrays
… aberrations and at these very short wavelengths scattering effects from residual optical fabrication errors are another major source of image degradation. The fabrication of precision optical surfaces for grazing incidence X-ray telescopes thus poses a great technological challenge. Both the …

An experimental and theoretical investigation of waveguide scatter, with applications to solution-deposited silica-titania planar waveguides
A theoretical and experimental investigation of scatter from surface roughness and core refractive index fluctuations in planar waveguides was performed, with an emphasis placed on applications in solution-deposited SiO₂-TiO₂ (silica titania) planar waveguiding systems. A perturbation theory was …
