Wavefront (disambiguation)

Wavefront (disambiguation)

In physics, a wavefront is the locus (a line, or, in a wave propagating in 3 dimensions, a surface) of points having the same phase.

Wavefront may also refer to:
* Wave front set, WF("f"), a mathematical set in in the field of microlocal analysis that characterizes the singularities of a generalized function in space and with respect to its Fourier transform at each point
* Wavefront arbiter, a circuit used to make decisions which control the crossbar of a high capacity switch fabric in parallel.
* Wavefront coding, a method for increasing the depth of field in an image to produce sharper images
* Wavefront Technologies, a computer graphics company that developed and sold animation software used in Hollywood motion pictures and other industries
