Stray light in an optical system is unwanted parasitic light that may degrade performance. It can originate from different sources and may lead to different problems in the optical system such as fogging, ghost images for imagers, or inaccurate measurements for time of flight applications. One of the root causes is the reflectivity of the sensor itself. In this paper we present a new optical simulation methodology to analyze the stray light contribution due to the sensor reflectivity by coupling electromagnetic simulation (to calculate the pixels' bidirectional reflectance distribution function, also named BRDF) and ray-tracing simulation (for stray light analysis of the camera module). With this simulation flow we have been able to reproduce qualitatively red ghost images observed on different sensors in our laboratory.

The 'pyro-phototronic effect' plays a nontrivial role in advancing ferroelectric (FE) devices of light detectors, light-emitting diodes, and other smart technologies. In this work, a premier FE copolymer, poly(vinylidene fluoride--trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)), is reinforced with a lead-free double perovskite, CsSnI, to render profound properties in a hybrid nanostructure. It presents a unique example of the coupling of ferro-, pyro- and piezo-electrics to the 'photoexcitation' of exotic charges that actively empower the synergetic features.

After simulation analysis the method can make the display contrast increase by 3.1 times and solve the problem of dark targets being drowned by the background bright light, which exists in the LED illumination target simulator.

Article Synopsis
- Space-based gravitational wave (GW) detection utilizes the Michelson interferometry principle to create long baseline laser interferometers capable of sensing signals within a frequency range of 10-1 Hz.
- The paper introduces an advanced design using an off-axis four-mirror configuration that minimizes wavefront aberration and enhances stray light suppression, addressing background noise issues.
- This improved design achieves a wavefront error of less than λ/500 in the main field of view and can reach an error of less than λ/30 with a 92% probability, making it a strong candidate for future GW detection projects.
Under the influence of the polarization effect, the background stray light of the weak starlight simulator and the polarization state of the simulated target star point are doped with each other, so it is difficult to achieve accurate suppression of polarized stray light. In this paper, the mechanism of background stray light induced by the optical engine in a weak starlight simulation device is analyzed, and the principle of mutual doping between stray light and simulated target starlight polarization state is studied. The correlation model of polarization parameters, point source transmittal, and simulated target magnitude was established, and the optimization process of polarization effect was constructed to achieve accurate suppression of polarized stray light in the star map background.
