Ray tracing in absorbing media
In ray tracing, it is standard practice to consider solely the real part of any medium’s refractive index for determining the changes in a ray’s direction at the interface between two media. Any absorption is accounted for by reducing the intensity or weight of the ray in accordance with its propagation distance. This practice is adequate at optical wavelengths where absorption is generally ver...
متن کاملRay Tracing in Non-Constant Media
In this paper, we explore the theory of optical deformations due to continuous variations of the refractive index of the air, and present several efficient implementations. We introduce the basic equations from geometrical optics, outlining a general method of solution. Further, we model the fluctuations of the index of refraction both as a superposition of blobs and as a stochastic function. U...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملSeismic ray tracing and wavefront tracking in laterally heterogeneous media
One of the most common and challenging problems in seismology is the prediction of source-receiver paths taken by seismic energy in the presence of lateral variations in wavespeed. The solution to this problem is required in many applications that exploit the high frequency component of seismic records, such as body wave tomography, migration of reflection data and earthquake relocation. The pr...
متن کاملRay tracing in anisotropic media with a linear gradient
In general, ray paths in anisotropic media can be found by solving the sixth-order kinematic ray equations. In this paper it is shown that in media where the density-normalized elastic parameters depend quadratically on one coordinate, i.e. the velocities vary linearly, the projection of the ray path on to the slowness vector plane, which is fixed, is the same shape as the cross-section of the ...
