\section{Acknowledgments}
I am indebted to my advisor Steve Marschner for allowing me to devote
a significant amount of my research time to this project. His insightful and
encouraging suggestions have helped transform this program into much more than
I ever thought it would be.
The architecture of Mitsuba as well as some individual components are based on
implementations discussed in: \emph{Physically Based Rendering - From Theory
To Implementation} by Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys.

The included index of refraction data files for conductors are copied from
PBRT. They are originally from the Luxpop database (\url{www.luxpop.com})
and are based on data by Palik et al. \cite{Palik1998Handbook}
and measurements of atomic scattering factors made by the Center For
X-Ray Optics (CXRO) at Berkeley and the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL).
