Specular reflection from a surface that is smooth on the scale of the wavelength of the observation can be used to diagnose surface liquid. We searched for specular reflection in high-resolution ...

Of course, specular reflection depends a bit on luck—the light from the exoplanet's star would have to bounce off the planet at exactly the right spot and the right angle to reach an observer here on ...

A momentary gleam of starlight could reveal alien construction to the next generation of telescopes, a recent paper suggests. We’ve all experienced it: the glint of sunlight bouncing off a car ...

Manufacturers are adopting automated optical inspection (AOI) systems based on phase shift profilometry (PSP) for applications in advanced packaging processes. Many of these processes use front ...

Enhanced specular reflectors (ESR) like 3M Vikuiti™ are highly reflective, mirror-like optical enhancement films that are mainly used in light recycling liquid crystal display (LCD) applications for ...
