Acoustooptic interaction of two light beams in a paratellurite crystal
Acoustooptic interaction of two light beams in a paratellurite crystal

... was excited by a piezoelectric transducer made from xcut lithium niobate. The calculation has shown that, when the length of the piezoelectric transducer is l = 1.4 cm and the ultrasonic frequency is f = 180– 190 MHz, the sound divergence is 4 mrad. The acoustic-wave velocity is oriented at the angl ...

Ray Model

... For example if the ray is launched at some angle such that it does not intersect the axis of the fiber, then after total internal reflection it will go to some other plane. We can see that in this situation the ray will never intersect the axis of the fiber. The ray essentially will spiral around th ...

Current research suggests that certain types of fibres manufactured by varying methods produce different results. The different responses to exposure from gamma irradiation between Germanium ( ...
Ultrasensitive Beam Deflection Measurement via Interferometric
Ultrasensitive Beam Deflection Measurement via Interferometric

... The beam travels through the interferometer, and the spatial shift of the beam exiting the dark-port is monitored. We refer to the beam’s which-path information as the system, described with the states {|i, | i}. The transverse position degree of freedom of the beam, labeled by the states |xi, is r ...
ChromatiC dispersion
ChromatiC dispersion

... The result of GVD, whether negative or positive, is ultimately temporal spreading of the pulse. This makes dispersion management extremely important in optical communications systems based on optical fiber, since if dispersion is too high, a group of pulses representing a bit-stream will spread in t ...

The Fundamentals of Infrared Spectroscopy
The Fundamentals of Infrared Spectroscopy

... some cases this involves breaking the light up into component wavelengths so that the sample is exposed to only a narrow region of the spectrum at any one time. In this form of infrared spectroscopy the wavelength of light incident on the detector at a given time is known. This is called DISPERSIVE ...

optical properties of skin, subcutaneous, and muscle tissues

... In principle, the method allows for any intended accuracy to be achieved for all the parameters being measured, provided the necessary computer time is available. An error of 3% or less is considered acceptable.30 Also, the method may be used to directly correct experimental ¯ndings obtained with th ...

Since SiO2 based UV multilayer coatings have high compressive stress, stress compensation may be accomplished by a predetermined thickness of SiO2 deposited on the backside of the optic according to Eq.(3). Fig. 6 shows the calculated SiO2 layer thicknesse ...

... In this set-up, the light was seen to be a wave. The key to understanding why light behaves like waves is through interference and diffraction. Both are the phenomena that distinguish waves from particles: waves interfere and diffract while particles do not (Boston University, n.d.). Thus, the study ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
