TY - JOUR A1 - Vollmer, Michael A1 - Möllmann, Klaus-Peter T1 - Rainbows, water droplets, and seeing—slow motion analysis of experiments in atmospheric optics T2 - In: Applied optics Vol. 50 (2011) 28, pp. F21–F28 N2 - Many physics processes underlying phenomena in atmospheric optics happen on a rather short time scale such that neither the human eye nor video cameras are able to analyze the details. We report applications of high-speed imaging of laboratory experiments in atmospheric optics with subsequent slow motion analysis. The potential to study respective transient effects is investigated in general and for a few phenomena in detail, in particular for rainbow scattering due to single oscillating droplets during free fall, and for light propagation effects through atmospheric paths with turbulences, leading, e.g., to scintillation of stars or shimmering of mirage images. © 2011 Optical Society of America Y1 - 2014 UR - https://opus4.kobv.de/opus4-fhbrb/frontdoor/index/index/docId/512 SP - F21 EP - F28 ER -
