... the simplest case, which consists of two interacting pulses, it was shown that a soliton pair with a fixed separation and a relative phase around ±90° could form [5], as predicted theoretically in the frame of the complex quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CQGLE) [7]. This type of multisoliton state ...

The allowed wavelengths are those for which the cavity length is an integral number of half wavelengths. Photons are not ...
The Optical Beam Diameter Within the Beam
The Optical Beam Diameter Within the Beam

... It can be seen from Figure 1 that, perhaps surprisingly, quite small beam diameters give the best SNR performance. The optimal beam diameters correspond to the nominal beam diameters being approximately equal to the Fresnel zone size for the beam propagation distance √(λz)=6.6mm. A Gaussian beam of ...

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.""
