TL;DR: A method and apparatus for increasing the depth of focus of the human eye is comprised of a lens body, an optic in the lens body configured to produce light interference, and a pinhole-like optical aperture substantially in the center of the optic.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the depth of focus of the human eye is comprised of a lens body, an optic in the lens body configured to produce light interference, and a pinhole-like optical aperture substantially in the center of the optic. The optic may be configured to produce light scattering or composed of a light reflective material. Alternatively, the optic may increase the depth of focus via a combination of light interference, light scattering, light reflection and/or light absorption. The optic may also be configured as a series of concentric circles, a weave, a pattern of particles, or a pattern of curvatures. One method involves screening a patient for an ophthalmic lens using a pinhole screening device in the lens to increase the patient's depth of focus. Another method comprises surgically implanting a mask in the patient's eye to increase the depth of focus.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the perturbation theory approach with respect to the amplitude of the roughness for the scattering of light by rough surfaces is equivalent to a model consisting of a smooth surface and surface current sources.
Abstract: It will be shown that the perturbation theory approach with respect to the amplitude of the roughness for the scattering of light by rough surfaces is equivalent to a model consisting of a smooth surface and surface current sources. This model has an obvious physical meaning and allows a simple calculation of the scattered fields, which are given. The model and the previous one given by Stern are identical up to the position of the surface currents, which have to be placed into the vacuum. Consequently the former explanation has to be corrected, which says that the peak of the scattered radiation at the plasma frequency is generated by surface roughness. We will show that it is possible to generate this maximum by statistical inhomogenities within the metal.

TL;DR: The use of gel permeation chromatorgraphy (GPC) coupled with the multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detector for the determination of molecular weight and size distribution and for the identification of polymer branching is demonstrated on several examples of both organic and water-soluble polymers.
