Propagation and focusing of optical fields
Propagation and focusing of optical fields

... 2πn can be imaged with sufficient accuracy. This equation is qualitative and we will provide a more detailed discussion in Chapter 4. In general, higher resolution can be obtained by a higher index of refraction of the embodying system (substrate, lenses, etc.) or by shorter wavelengths. Theoretical ...

... annular areas forming this nonperiodic pattern can be made relatively wide, which significantly improves the manufacturability and reduces stray-light losses, at the expense of less perfect but still sufficient compensation of the wave-front deviation, as we show in this paper. As a result, the conv ...

Chapter 5 : Diffraction and Beam Formation Using arrays

... For a uniformly weighted aperture, the radiation pattern (in the far field or in focus) is simply a sinc function in combination with some phase terms. In addition, since the width of the diffraction pattern is directly related to the lateral resolution ( x  direction), it is clear that the apertur ...

On the other hand, it is valuable if the signals remain optical all the way through the switch, including possible queuing systems, i.e. there is optical transparency. In this way it is easier to scale up the bit rate or change protocols. With ...

This fact brings its own set of problems in real life frequency doubling. The cross-sectional intensity distribution in laser b ...

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.""
