International Year of Light: Article Collection

AI Thread Summary
The International Year of Light, designated by UNESCO for 2015, emphasizes the significance of light science and its applications. Taylor & Francis has curated a free online collection of articles covering various themes, including contemporary physics, art and culture, photonics, solar power, and technology. This initiative is reminiscent of previous international years dedicated to physics and astronomy. Additional resources, including highly cited papers, are also available through Taylor & Francis. The discussion underscores the importance of accessing both the article collection and the official International Year of Light webpage for comprehensive information.

Thanks for your resource. What is the International Year of Light? What kinds of articles are in the collection?
 
Hi,

The International Year of Light is a UNESCO event focused on light science and its applications. Taylor & Francis have put together a collection of articles on light and light-based technologies specifically focused on the following themes:
  • Focus Journal: Contemporary Physics
  • Art and Culture
  • Light in Life
  • Photonics
  • Solar Power
  • Technology
We also have other article collections such as highly cited and downloaded papers which can be found here: http://explore.tandfonline.com/content/est/physics

Thanks!

Lauren

Greg,

This is similar to honoring the "international year of physics" back in 2005, and the "international year of astronomy" in 2009. This year, 2015, it is focusing on "light".

It is too bad that the OP never bothered to link to the official International Year of Light webpage. There's a lot of info and list of official events that can be found there.

Zz.

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'
Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...
Thread 'How to model converging illumination through object plane (in ZEMAX)'
Hello community, I'm designing a projection lens system for a 35mm film projector in Zemax OpticStudio and struggling with the correct sequential mode setup for the illumination geometry. The light source is a Xenon short-arc lamp reflected by an ellipsoid mirror, which creates a converging cone with a 40.6 degree full angle that passes through the film gate. The film gate is my object plane, but the light doesn't diverge from it like a typical Lambertian source. Instead, the converging...
