The eye is not a centered system. The line of sight connects the fovea with the center of the pupil and is usually tilted in the temporal direction. Thus, off-axis optical aberrations, mainly coma and oblique astigmatism, are introduced at…

In recent years, holographic optical elements have been introduced in different applications such as high-density data storage, interconnections, spatial and temporal filters and three-dimensional displays. Simultaneously, more sensitive, efficient and durable holographic materials have been developed. Thus it is necessary…

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…

Based on the results of the coupled-wave theory the diffraction efficiency is calculated for thick phase transmission holographic gratings taking into account the chemical processing of the recording material. Three effects of processing are considered: variations in the average refractive…

Silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) is one of the most promising techniques for the fabrication of transmission holographic optical elements, achieving relatively high sensitivity of photographic material with the low scattering and high light stability of dichromated gelatin. In this…

The experimental results of diffraction efficiency as a function of the geometrical disposition of recording beams in bleached silver halide transmission thick-holographic gratings are presented. Two variables have been used to relate these results with certain geometric parameters. These variables…

A statistical model is used to study the formation of noise gratings in holograms and the mechanism that causes radiation scattering in them. The theoretical model presented describes noise scattering in terms of diffraction due to the high number of…

This paper deals with diffuse-object holograms recorded in silver halide sensitized gelatin. Both the diffraction efficiency and the signal-to-noise ratio when reconstruction is done with different wavelengths are measured. The experimental results we obtained show that new theoretical models for…
