Physical Optics: Diffraction, Interference, and Polarization of Light
Physical Optics: Diffraction, Interference, and Polarization of Light

... Unpolarized light can be conveniently plane-polarized by use of a Polaroid sheet. This is a sheet of transparent plastic in which special needlelike crystals of iodoquinine sulfate have been embedded and oriented. The resulting sheet will allow light through it only if the electric vector is vibrati ...

... plasmons. Various waveguiding structures for surface plasmons, fabricated with different techniques, such as metal stripes [3–5] and v-grooves [6,7] have already been investigated. The strong lateral confinement can be also achieved by depositing polymer stripes on a metal surface and using them as ...

Intensity-dependent change in polarization state of light in normal

... These equations clearly show the intensity dependence of polarization state of the reflected and transmitted light beams. From eqs (13) and (14) it is clear that when incident light is plane polarized (pinc = p∗inc ) or circularly polarized (pinc = ±i), then pref = pinc and ptra = pinc , i.e., there ...

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.""
