To calculate retinal magnification and visual acuity in highly myopic phakic eyes corrected with anterior chamber intraocular lenses (IOLs) versus correction by other methods.
Relative retinal magnification (RRM) was used to study changes in retinal image size induced by different…

A reduced set of measurement geometries allows the spectral reflectance of special effect coatings to be predicted for any other geometry. A physical model based on flake-related parameters has been used to determine nonredundant measurement geometries for the complete description…

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…

The photopolymerization diffusion models give accurate comprehension of the mechanism of hologram formation inside photopolymer materials. Although several models have been proposed, these models share the common assumption that there is an interplay between the processes of monomer polymerization and…

The use of bleaching techniques is perhaps one of the most popular methods of creating phase holograms from holographic emulsions. In this paper we will study the influence of the different experimental conditions on the refractive index modulation created inside…

The chromatic sensitivity of holographic optical elements for use in optical interconnect systems is quantified using an entropy merit function. The influence of broad-band illumination on axial irradiance and intensity is studied showing that the best imaging point obtained with…

Spontaneous eye blinking is a complex process, which implies the joint actions of the eyelid muscles and the eye globe. These actions provoke the eyelid closure and simultaneous eye retraction into the orbit. Recently, the authors presented a non-invasive technique…

An afocal two-element holographic imaging system is presented. This system can be used to work in white light. The holographic optical elements (holographic lenses) are made as thick phase holograms on silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) and they present a…

We propose a two step method which enables us to obtain transmission Holographic Optical Elements of high diffraction efficiency as well as a good signal-to-noise relation. By means of a device using partially coherent light, a master Holographic Optical Element…

An experimental analysis of noise gratings in holographic lenses is presented. Lenses are recorded as thick-phase holograms in bleached silver halide emulsion. The authors calculated noise grating efficiency by using the diffraction efficiency in points across a lens diameter. They…
