8. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Turbo Beam Tracing software developed by INTEGRA, Inc., was used for all experiments. The author thanks INTEGRA, Inc., for support of this investigation. Also I would like to thank Vadim Saveliev, Nikolai Kulikov, Artur Gajewski, and Marcin Przygodzki for a lot of technical work with TBT, Koji Tsuchiya for help in preparing real scenes in TBT format, and Edward Kopylov for help in polishing this text.
