Ray-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 کاملThe Ray Tracing Kernel
ion de nes an object which is a procedural entity capable of a small number of elementary operations. Objects and Object Classes Within the kernel, an object is a data abstraction for geometrical entities and operations. Figure 1 shows the routines which are required to de ne a parametric family of objects, or an object class. Each of these routines accepts a pointer to class-speci c data, or p...
متن کاملX-ray propagation through hollow channel: PolyCAD – a ray tracing code
‘‘PolyCAD’’, a CAD program designed for X-ray photon tracing in polycapillary optics, is described. To understand the PolyCAD code and its results, the theoretical bases of X-ray transmission by a single cylindrical channel (monocapillary) are discussed first. Then cases of cylindrical, lens and semi-lens shaped polycapillary optics are examined. PolyCAD allows any type of X-ray source to be us...
متن کاملRay tracing - computing the incomputable?
We recall from previous work a model-independent framework of computational complexity theory. Notably for the present paper, the framework allows formalization of the issues of precision that present themselves when one considers physical, error-prone (especially analogue rather than digital) computational systems. We take as a case study the ray-tracing problem, a Turing-machineincomputable p...
