Keller cone

In optics, Keller cone or Rubinowicz–Keller cone[1] is the locus of conically diffracted rays produced when an incident optical wave strikes a sharp edge of a scattering object. Named after American mathematician Joseph Keller, who reported the effect as an integral part of his geometrical theory of diffraction in 1962,[2] it was first recognized by Adalbert Rubinowicz in 1924 for the special case of diffraction from an aperture on a thin screen.[3][4]

Keller cones are widely referenced in works on radio propagation[5][6] and radar cross section calculations.[7] Besides electromagnetics, they are also present in acoustic wave diffraction.[8][9] They were experimentally observed in 1972 using helium–neon lasers incident on a razor blade.[10]
