... presence of a channel of any, even the smallest, diameter cannot, therefore, be ignored. This important factor has called for a critical analysis of the formerly obtained data as well. Thus, two contradictory results were obtained by two different methods for the radiation of a magnetic dipole 4,7. ...

... In order to keep the total time spent on laboratory work within reasonable bounds, the write-up for each experiment will be completed at the end of the lab and handed in before the end of each laboratory period. Therefore, it is imperative that you spend sufficient time preparing for the experiment ...

Near Infrared Optical Manipulation of a GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Well

... Using electronic spin rather than charge to replace existing microelectronic systems has been a well studied area of research in the last ten years. More recently, research has focused on using the nuclear spin of GaAs rather than the electron spin. This work has demonstrated that GaAs nuclear spins ...

... kilogauss. Zeeman proposed a theoretical interpretation based on Lorentz’s idea that “in all bodies small electrically charged particles with a definite mass are present.” Given this concept, the rest of the interpretation is, from a modern point of view, hardly more than a dimensional analysis.

... In some materials light with different polarisations travels at different speeds. Since we can regard any wave as the superposition of two plane polarised waves, this is equivalent to saying that one beam of light travels at different speeds in the material, that is the material has different refrac ...

History of optics

Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term τα ὀπτικά which refers to matters of vision. Optics was significantly reformed by the developments in the medieval Islamic world, such as the beginnings of physical and physiological optics, and then significantly advanced in early modern Europe, where diffractive optics began. These earlier studies on optics are now known as ""classical optics"". The term ""modern optics"" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and quantum optics.
