Achromatic Polarization-Preserving Beam Displacer

... In many applications it is necessary to displace an optical beam. The widespread use of lasers for research and technology demands the steering of collimated beams from one spatial region in which the optical beams are prepared to another in which they are applied. In many of these situations the pr ...

We show that particles leak from the central region in the resonant state. The exponential divergence in space of the wave function is a di ...

Incidentally this suggests that the pressure, P, on a mirror from a photon from a CO2 laser incident normally is (see Section 12.2.3.1) 2p = P = 2 × 6.625 × 10−28 /10.6 × 10−6 = 1.25 × 10−28 N s per photon, not of any great significance until one considers the avalanche of photons possible with the l ...

Thus the boundary interaction causes a flow between Neumann boundary conditions (∂φ(0) = 0) in the UV and Dirichlet (φ(0) = 4nπ/β, n integer) in the IR. These two boundar ...

Cross section (physics)



The cross section is an effective area that quantifies the intrinsic likelihood of a scattering event when an incident beam strikes a target object, made of discrete particles. The cross section of a particle is the same as the cross section of a hard object, if the probabilities of hitting them with a ray are the same. It is typically denoted σ and measured in units of area.In scattering experiments, one is often interested in knowing how likely a given event occurs. However, the rate depends strongly on experimental variables such as the density of the target material, the intensity of the beam, or the area of overlap between the beam and the target material. To control for these mundane differences, one can factor out these variables, resulting in an area-like quantity known as the cross section.
