Th-Ar hollow-cathode lamp
Th-Ar hollow-cathode lamp

The glow of a Th-Ar hollow-cathode lamp. The image was taken with a Canon EOS 450. Actually, we were interested in the reflection of light at the glass walls of the confining cylinder.

U-Ne hollow-cathode-lamp

Looking into a U-Ne hollow-cathode-lamp. The glow is shining like a furnace. Light is reflected at the inner walls of the confining glas tubes. The image was captured with an Canon EOS 450.

Laser frequency comb Fiber
Laser frequency comb Fiber

What happens if you send the light of laser frequency comb (LFC) through a 100m long multi-mode (NA=0.23, core = 200µm) fiber? What looks like a glowing tornado viewed from the top is actually the light leaving the rear port of the fiber imaged onto a sheet of paper. The photo was captured with a Canon EOS 450 so that only visible light was recorded. The light of the LFC address only a few modes of the fiber. The pattern can be observed for several minutes with only minor changes.

Handheld spectrometer
Handheld spectrometer

This image shows the inside of a handheld spectrometer. Sunlight comes in and is diffracted after illuminating the diffraction grating. The diffracted light hits a screen which has wavelengths of the visible light range. It shows what wavelengths the sunlight contains. The numbers on the screen show the spectrum of the visible part of the sunlight. The image also shows all the reflections from the inside walls of the spectrometer. So we have reflection and diffraction in the same box.
