Spiegelzone
Spiegelzone is a term used in optics and physics to describe a region where light behaves in a peculiar manner, often exhibiting unusual reflection or diffraction patterns. This phenomenon is typically observed when light interacts with specific types of surfaces or structures, such as those with nanoscale features or complex layered materials. The precise optical properties of a Spiegelzone are determined by the interplay of incident light's wavelength, angle of incidence, and the geometrical and material characteristics of the interacting medium.
Researchers study Spiegelzone effects to develop advanced optical devices, including high-efficiency mirrors, specialized filters, and novel
