  • Thermal Shock
    TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS Thermal Shock Objective: To illustrate thermal expansion and thermal shock. Background Information: In physics, thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in volume or pressure when heated. For liquids and solids, the amount of expansion will normally vary depending on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion. When materials contract, tensile forces are created. When things expand, compressive forces are created. Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. From the laboratory standpoint, there are three main types of glass used today: borosilicate, quartz, and soda lime or flint glass. Borosilicate glass is made to withstand thermal shock better than most other glass through a combination of reduced expansion coefficient and greater strength, though fused quartz outperforms it in both respects. Some glass-ceramic materials include a controlled proportion of material with a negative expansion coefficient, so that the overall coefficient can be reduced to almost exactly zero over a reasonably wide range of temperatures. Improving the shock resistance of glass and ceramics can be achieved by improving the strength of the materials or by reducing its tendency to uneven expansion. One example of success in this area is Pyrex, the brand name that is well known to most consumers as cookware, but which is also used to manufacture laboratory glassware. Pyrex traditionally is made with a borosilicate glass with the addition of boron, which prevents shock by reducing the tendency of glass to expand. Demo description: Three different types of glass rods will be heated so that students can observe the amount of thermal shock that occurs.

  • The Walman Optical Perspective on High Index Lenses
    Optical Perspective of Polycarbonate Material JP Wei, Ph. D. November 2011 Introduction Among the materials developed for eyeglasses, polycarbonate is one that has a number of very unique properties and provides real benefits to eyeglass wearers. Polycarbonate lenses are not only cosmetically thinner, lighter, and provide superior impact-resistance, but also produce sharp optical clarity for both central and peripheral vision. It is well-known that as the index of refraction increases dispersion also increases. In other words, the higher the refractive index, the low the ABBE value. An increase in dispersion will cause an increase in chromatic aberration. Therefore, one of the concerns in the use of lens materials such as polycarbonate is: will chromatic aberration negatively affect patient adaption? MID 1.70 LENS MATERIAL CR39 TRIVEX INDEX POLYCARBONATE 1.67 INDEX INDEX REFRACTIVE INDEX 1.499 1.529 1.558 1.586 1.661 1.700 ABBE VALUES 58 45 37 30 32 36 The refractive index of a material is often abbreviated “n.” Except for air, which has a refractive index of approximately 1, the refractive index of most substances is greater than 1 (n > 1). Water, for instance, has a refractive index of 1.333. The higher the refractive index of a lens material, the slower the light will travel through it. While it is commonly recognized that high index materials will have greater chromatic aberration than CR-39 or low refractive index lenses, there has been no quantification of the amount of visual acuity loss that results from chromatic aberration. The purpose of this paper is to review the optical properties of polycarbonate material, its advantages over other lens materials, and the impact of chromatic aberration caused by the relative low ABBE value of the material on vision and clinical significance.

  • Chapter 3 (Aberrations)
    Chapter 3 Aberrations 3.1 Introduction In Chap. 2 we discussed the image-forming characteristics of optical systems, but we limited our consideration to an infinitesimal thread- like region about the optical axis called the paraxial region. In this chapter we will consider, in general terms, the behavior of lenses with finite apertures and fields of view. It has been pointed out that well- corrected optical systems behave nearly according to the rules of paraxial imagery given in Chap. 2. This is another way of stating that a lens without aberrations forms an image of the size and in the loca- tion given by the equations for the paraxial or first-order region. We shall measure the aberrations by the amount by which rays miss the paraxial image point. It can be seen that aberrations may be determined by calculating the location of the paraxial image of an object point and then tracing a large number of rays (by the exact trigonometrical ray-tracing equa- tions of Chap. 10) to determine the amounts by which the rays depart from the paraxial image point. Stated this baldly, the mathematical determination of the aberrations of a lens which covered any reason- able field at a real aperture would seem a formidable task, involving an almost infinite amount of labor. However, by classifying the various types of image faults and by understanding the behavior of each type, the work of determining the aberrations of a lens system can be sim- plified greatly, since only a few rays need be traced to evaluate each aberration; thus the problem assumes more manageable proportions.

  • Simple Method for Measuring the Zero-Dispersion Wavelength in Optical Fibers Maxime Droques, Benoit Barviau, Alexandre Kudlinski, Géraud Bouwmans and Arnaud Mussot
    Simple Method for Measuring the Zero-Dispersion Wavelength in Optical Fibers Maxime Droques, Benoit Barviau, Alexandre Kudlinski, Géraud Bouwmans and Arnaud Mussot Abstract— We propose a very simple method for measuring the zero-dispersion wavelength of an optical fiber as well as the ratio between the third- and fourth-order dispersion terms. The method is based on the four wave mixing process when pumping the fiber in the normal dispersion region, and only requires the measurement of two spectra, provided that a source tunable near the zero- dispersion wavelength is available. We provide an experimental demonstration of the method in a photonic crystal fiber and we show that the measured zero-dispersion wavelength is in good agreement with a low-coherence interferometry measurement. Index Terms— Photonic crystal fiber, four-wave-mixing, chromatic dispersion, zero-dispersion wavelength. I. INTRODUCTION Group velocity dispersion (GVD) is one of the key characteristics of optical fibers. It is thus important to be able to accurately measure this parameter. The techniques developed to reach this goal can be divided into two main categories: the ones based on linear processes, such as time-of-flight, phase-shift or interferometric measurements [1-4]; and the ones based on nonlinear effects, such as four wave mixing (FWM), mainly [5-8]. The main advantage of these last ones is that the GVD measurement can be made in fiber samples ranging from a few meters up to hundred of meters long, while linear techniques are restricted to either very short samples (in the meter range) or to very long ones (in the kilometer range).

  • Tauc-Lorentz Dispersion Formula
    TN11 Tauc-Lorentz Dispersion Formula Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) is a technique based on the measurement of the relative phase change of re- flected and polarized light in order to characterize thin film optical functions and other properties. The meas- ured SE data are used to describe a model where layers refer to given materials. The model uses mathematical relations called dispersion formulae that help to evaluate the material’s optical properties by adjusting specific fit parameters. This technical note deals with Tauc-Lorentz dispersion formula. Theoretical model The real part εr,TL of the dielectric function is derived from the expression of εi using the Kramers-Kronig integration. Jellison and Modine developed this model (1996) using Then, it comes the following expression for εi: the Tauc joint density of states and the Lorentz oscillator. The complex dielectric function is : 2 ∞ ξ ⋅ε ()ξ ε ()E = ε ()∞ + ⋅ P ⋅ i dξ ()5 ~ε =ε + i ⋅ε =ε + i ⋅(ε × ε ) (1) r r π ∫ ξ 2 − E 2 TL r,TL i,TL r,TL i,T i, L Eg Here the imaginary part εi,TL of the dielectric function is where P is the Cauchy principal value containing the resi- given by the product of imaginary part of Tauc’s (1966) dues of the integral at poles located on lower half of the dielectric εi,T function with Lorentz one εi,L.

In this study, we selected the alicyclic compound, Dinorbornane dimethanol (DNDM) homo polymer, because it has been used as a representative monomer in low refractive index polymers for its unique properties. DNDM monomer has a stable amorphous phase and reacts like a polymer. Its unique reaction allows continuous investigation from monomer to polymer. For hydroxy end group and phenolic end group polymers, the refractive index (nd) decreased with increasing Dp, and both converged to same value in the high Dp region. However, the Abbe number (νd) of a hydroxy end group polymer is not dependent on Dp, and the νd of a phenolic end group polymer is greatly dependent on Dp.

  • Measurement of Verdet Constant in Diamagnetic Glass Using Faraday Effect
    18Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 40 : 18 - 23 (2006) Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 40(5) Measurement of Verdet Constant in Diamagnetic Glass Using Faraday Effect Kheamrutai Thamaphat, Piyarat Bharmanee and Pichet Limsuwan ABSTRACT Many materials exhibit what is called circular dichroism when placed in an external magnetic field. An equivalent statement would be that the two circular polarizations have different refractive indices in the presence of the field. For linearly polarized light, the plane of polarization rotates as it propagates through the material, a phenomenon that is called the Faraday effect. The angle of rotation is proportional to the product of magnetic field, path length through the sample and a constant known as the Verdet constant. The objectives of this experiment are to measure the Verdet constant for a sample of dense flint glass using Faraday effect and to compare its value to a theoretical calculated value. The experimental values for wavelength of 505 and 525 nm are V = 33.1 and 28.4 rad/T m, respectively. While the theoretical calculated values for wavelength of 505 and 525 nm are V = 33.6 and 30.4 rad/T m, respectively. Key words: verdet constant, diamagnetic glass, faraday effect INTRODUCTION right- and left-handed circularly polarized light are different. This effect manifests itself in a rotation Many important applications of polarized of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light involve materials that display optical activity. light. This observable fact is called magnetooptic A material is said to be optically active if it rotates effect. the plane of polarization of any light transmitted Magnetooptic effects are those effects in through the material.
