Realistic mathematical models are of great importance for studying the optical performance of the human eye. Light propagation algorithms provide robust methods to calculate field distributions inside a homogeneous medium, and thus they can be applied to the study of…

In order to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms of hologram formation and higher diffraction efficiencies in volume gratings stored in acrylamide based photopolymers, a crosslinker (N,N'methylene-bis-acrylamide) has been incorporated in the photopolymer to record holograms by pulsed laser…

Numerical calculation of Fresnel patterns through fast Fourier transforms usually requires an extremely large number of samples in order to fulfil the Nyquist sampling condition. In many applications, the cut-off frequency of the system is much below the limit fixed…

The kinetics of photosensitive polymer holographic recording materials are examined assuming a material that exhibits nonideal kinetic behavior. Previously, a linear relationship between monomer concentration and polymerization was assumed when deriving the nonlocal polymer-driven diffusion (NPDD) model. This is consistent…

The aim of this study is to develop a color visualization system for multispectral images in the near-infrared region (NIR, 800–1000 nm). Samples with the same color or appearance in the visible region, which are therefore indistinguishable to the human

The methods of differential geometry are used with the assumption that rays of light follow geodesic trajectories in a space whose metric is determined by the refraction index. Keeping this in mind, we show that these hypotheses are equivalent to…

We present a systematic algorithm capable of searching for optimal colors for any lightness L* (between 0 and
100), any illuminant (D65, F2, F7, F11, etc.), and any light source reported by CIE. Color solids are graphed in
some color…

A new technique for analysing the optical quality of the human cornea is presented. Corneal maps are obtained through keratographies and then converted into phase maps. The propagated fields generated from this surface are plotted and studied. It is shown…

In this work, we have applied the fractional Fourier transform to obtain the Fresnel diffraction patterns in a theoretical eye. The FRT approach to Fresnel diffraction is easily implemented in a Gullstrand-Emsley theoretical eye, and it allows us to obtain…

Obtaining holographic volume gratings with high diffraction efficiencies that can be used under white light has been a serious problem for the polyvinyl alcohol-acrylamide-based photopolymers developed by other researchers. In this paper we propose to eliminate the residual monomer in…
