Is this trying to imply that it is capturing the scattering off of the Frenel diffraction?
I don't understand at first glance how this paper is capturing the light without having a sensor in the path of propagation.
- jerf 7y agoThe light is being put through a translucent medium, like shining a laser through milk or smoke or something, so you can see the scattered light. Conventional/non-QM-based light physics can handle this situation. If you mean, how are they seeing the non-scattered light, you are correct that they are not.
- HillaryBriss 7y ago> light is being put through a translucent medium at certain points, the light pulse seems to "leap ahead" in fits and starts on its journey. is that because of the way the medium scatters the light or something?
- mirimir 7y agoI think that it's because the speed of light inside the translucent medium (left side) is lower than in air (right side).
