Airy disk

Light bloom, the effect of the Airy disk in photography.

The size of the Airy disk determines the laser intensity at the focus.

This results in images of distant objects being spread out to a small spot known as the Airy disk.

The Airy disk is of importance in physics, optics, and astronomy.

This corresponds to the overlap of one airy disk on the first dark ring in the other.

These high, airy disks also contain scallions, peppers and mushrooms.

When a star is observed with a telescope, the light is spread into an Airy disk.

The light intensity in the focal plane distributed as airy disk, and has circular symmetry.

The Airy disk can be an important parameter in limiting the ability of an imaging system to resolve closely located objects.

Salmon-crab cakes, airy disks, come with a creamy caper-papaya accompaniment.

In reality, the angle of first minimum is a limiting value for the size of the Airy disk, and not a definite radius.

Fraunhofer diffraction yields the Airy disk as point spread function, which has a ringing pattern.

This effect can be seen in the elongation of the Airy disk in the same direction as the crest of the roof.

Owing to diffraction, the smallest point to which a lens or mirror can focus a beam of light is the size of the Airy disk.

Airy disk (on how wavelength fundamentally dictates the size of a disk with distance)

The classical diffraction pattern, the Airy disk, is connected to a circular pupil, without any obstruction and with a uniform transmission.

Other candidates for astronomical observations are the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin limit and Airy disks.

The reference beam is generated by diffraction from a small pinhole, about half the diameter of the Airy disk, in a semitransparent plate.

When looking through the peep sight, the user will notice an Airy disk that will help center the sight over the pin.

Gaussian fitting: A 2-dimensional Gaussian function is a good approximation for airy disk.

George Biddell Airy provides the first full explanation of the Airy disk phenomenon.

The intensity at the maximum of the first ring is about 1.75% of the intensity at the center of the Airy disk.

The far-field diffraction of a plane wave incident on a circular aperture is often referred to as the Airy Disk.

In fluorescence microscopy a 2D Gaussian function is used to approximate the Airy disk, describing the intensity distribution produced by a point source.

A circular laser beam with uniform intensity across the circle (a flat-top beam) focused by a lens will form an Airy disk pattern at the focus.
