... REPEATERS AND REGENERATORS:Optical repeaters are purely optical devices that are used simply to combat attenuation in the fiber; typically spans of 80km upwards are now possible. The recent introduction of soliton transmission methods has increased the allowed distance between repeaters and systems ...

... TGNWs have been investigated by using the vector wave function method. When the polarization direction is perpendicular to the incidence plane, it is found that with the increase in the incidence angle, the LFF of TGNW decreases first and then increases. The minimum LFF is observed at an incidence an ...

Birefringence



Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. These optically anisotropic materials are said to be birefringent (or birefractive). The birefringence is often quantified as the maximum difference between refractive indices exhibited by the material. Crystals with asymmetric crystal structures are often birefringent, as are plastics under mechanical stress.Birefringence is responsible for the phenomenon of double refraction whereby a ray of light, when incident upon a birefringent material, is split by polarization into two rays taking slightly different paths. This effect was first described by the Danish scientist Rasmus Bartholin in 1669, who observed it in calcite, a crystal having one of the strongest birefringences. However it was not until the 19th century that Augustin-Jean Fresnel described the phenomenon in terms of polarization, understanding light as a wave with field components in transverse polarizations (perpendicular to the direction of the wave vector).
