... resonator and u(ν) couples to g(ν) - we have rather complex conditions not amenable to simple analysis. Still, we have two basic options looking at the extremes: We can define the active area - or better volume - by large values of u(ν) or g(ν) - irrespective of what the other quantity does. If we c ...

... Every point of a wave front can be considered the origin of a new circular or spherical wave, the so-called elemetary wave. The new position of the wave front results from the superposition of all of the elementary waves. The Huygens wave front is a series of concentric circles originating from the ...

... Arthur Holly Compton studied the scattering of x-rays from electrons in a graphite target in 1923. He found that the wavelength of the scattered x-ray increased as the scattering angle measured from the forward direction increased. This puzzled him since according to electromagnetic wave ideas, the ...

However by using integrated optics where on-chip lightwave circuits are used to guide and filter light, these systems could be fit on a chip measuring only a few square mm, unlocking the through potential of this wavelength region. Indeed it has been shown that silicon chips can be used to guide lig ...

In 1880 light was believed to be completely wavelike in nature and fully described by James Clerk Maxwell's new theory of electromagnetism--the famous "Maxwell Equations” –which clearly demonstrated that light was a wave. Although the wave ...

Thomas Young (scientist)



Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
