... The conventional LT approach is the insertion of textured surfaces at the rear or front of the solar cells, to diffuse light and thus increase its optical path length within the absorber layer [6–9]. In the last decade, a variety of more advanced strategies have been proposed employing: self-assembl ...

Chapter 7. Plane Electromagnetic Waves and Wave Propagation
... For waves incident at , the refracted wave is propagated parallel to the surface. There can be no energy flow across the surface. Hence at that angle of incidence there must be total reflection. For incident angles greater than the critical angle , Snell’s law gives ...

The orbital angular momentum of light

Thomas Young (scientist)
.jpg?width=300)
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"".
