The toroid adds additional optical power in the vertical direction to bring the two focal planes together. |
When stretched at fixed displacement, the toroid undergoes a transition from an ellipse to a tadpole regime. |
We then look at the case of a toroid compressed in the plane of the toroid. |
It is an asymmetrical oval slice of toroid, tilted out of the ground towards the south to catch the sun's heat. |
The roof shapes are engaging, seemingly free-form, but are actually segments of a toroid. |
They found that instead of polarization, the new phase creates what the researchers call a toroid moment, which rotates in a circular fashion like a vortex or a tornado. |
