The Optics Interference program simulates a ripple tank by showing the intensity of waves produced by a point source. Adding multiple point sources creates easily observable interference patterns showing constructive and destructive interference. Users can add point sources, move them around, and...

This applet incorporates some image processing techniques in the Fourier optics domain. You can compute and see the Fourier transform of an object and the convolution between two images. You can also simulate the Vander Lugt correlator (matched filter, phase-only filter and inverse filter) and...

The Optics Project on the Web (WebTOP) is a 3D, interactive computer graphics system that visualizes optical phenomena. Its purpose is to help instructors teach and students learn about optics. It is a platform independent Java application that uses X3D.
