How laser works
How laser works

... History The laser would not have been possible without an understanding that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Max Planck received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1918 for his discovery of elementary energy quanta. Planck was working in thermodynamics, trying to explain why “blackbody” rad ...

Factors Toward The Development Of A Robust Surface Plasmon

... the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is formed, these particles starts propagating along the metal-dielectric interface with amplitudes decaying into both layers. SPP is used to overcome diffraction limit. This leads to the fabrication of photonic devices at very smaller scales than those currently a ...

... IDT. It was observed that, by means of this device, a delay and a filtering could be obtained in a very compact package. Nowadays, SAW devices are of extensive use in electronics and communication mobile technologies [9]. The physical phenomenon on which the SAW devices is based is piezoelectricity. ...

... and, recently, the idea that the polarization state of light can be used as a control parameter for mechanical actions has emerged. Namely, polarization controlled attractive repulsive dynamics14,15 and polarization controlled optical radiation pressure16 have been experimentally demonstrated. Then, ...

... velocity (Brillouin [I960]). They were most interested in the case in which the carrier frequency of the pulse coincides with the atomic resonance so that the pulse experiences anomalous dispersion and consequently Vg > c. They considered the case of an optical pulse that has an initial rectangular ...

... The CMBC and Perf estimates in equation 5.2 and 5.3 depend on the total light intensity, or the static part of the photocurrent, idc (see equation 4.8). Therefore, in the practical situation the estimates should be normalised with a factor that compensates for this dependency. In LDPM devices the es ...

Overview of various methods for measuring a lens focal length

... This technique uses the Talbot effect: the image of a coherent wave with 2D periodic amplitude distribution, incident upon a diffraction grating, is regularly repeated. The distance between each self-image is the Talbot length ∆. If the wave interferes with another wave diffracted by a grating with ...

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"".
