  • AN INTRODUCTION to LAGRANGIAN MECHANICS Alain
    AN INTRODUCTION TO LAGRANGIAN MECHANICS Alain J. Brizard Department of Chemistry and Physics Saint Michael’s College, Colchester, VT 05439 July 7, 2007 i Preface The original purpose of the present lecture notes on Classical Mechanics was to sup- plement the standard undergraduate textbooks (such as Marion and Thorton’s Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems) normally used for an intermediate course in Classi- cal Mechanics by inserting a more general and rigorous introduction to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods suitable for undergraduate physics students at sophomore and ju- nior levels. The outcome of this effort is that the lecture notes are now meant to provide a self-consistent introduction to Classical Mechanics without the need of any additional material. It is expected that students taking this course will have had a one-year calculus-based introductory physics course followed by a one-semester course in Modern Physics. Ideally, students should have completed their three-semester calculus sequence by the time they enroll in this course and, perhaps, have taken a course in ordinary differential equations. On the other hand, this course should be taken before a rigorous course in Quantum Mechanics in order to provide students with a sound historical perspective involving the connection between Classical Physics and Quantum Physics. Hence, the second semester of the sophomore year or the fall semester of the junior year provide a perfect niche for this course. The structure of the lecture notes presented here is based on achieving several goals. As a first goal, I originally wanted to model these notes after the wonderful monograph of Landau and Lifschitz on Mechanics, which is often thought to be too concise for most undergraduate students.

  • Energy Feedback Freeform Lenses for Uniform Illumination of Extended Light Source Leds
    Energy feedback freeform lenses for uniform illumination of extended light source LEDs 1 1 2 1 1,* ZONGTAO LI, SHUDONG YU, LIWEI LIN , YONG TANG, XINRUI DING, WEI 1 1 YUAN, BINHAI YU 1 Key Laboratory of Surface Functional Structure Manufacturing of Guangdong High Education Institutes, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, United States *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received XX Month XXXX; revised XX Month, XXXX; accepted XX Month XXXX; posted XX Month XXXX (Doc. ID XXXXX); published XX Month XXXX Using freeform lenses to construct uniform illumination systems is important in light-emitting diode (LED) devices. In this paper, the energy feedback design is used for freeform lens (EFFL) constructions by solving a set of partial differential equations that describe the mapping relationships between the source and the illumination pattern. The simulation results show that the method can overcome the illumination deviation caused by the extended light source (ELS) problem. Furthermore, a uniformity of 95.6% is obtained for chip-on-board (COB) compact LED devices. As such, prototype LEDs manufactured with the proposed freeform lenses demonstrate significant improvements in luminous efficiency and emission uniformity. © 2016 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (220.4298) Nonimaging optics; (220.2945) Illumination design; (230.3670) Light-emitting diodes. sources (PLSs). For LED applications, the brightness of these LEDs is 1. Introduction not sufficient. Although a module with multiple sources makes it possible to obtain sufficient luminous flux, Kuo found that such a Solid-state lighting devices, especially light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solution would lead to the “multi-shadow” phenomenon, which causes have gained attention recently as a result of their outstanding features the eyes to feel tired [9].

  • 1 the Spectroscopic Toolbox
    13 1 The Spectroscopic Toolbox 1.1 Introduction Present spectroscopic instruments use essentially bulk optics, that is, with sizes much greater than the wavelengths at which the instruments are used (0.3–2.4 μm in this book). Diffraction effects – due to the finite size of light wavelength – are then usually negligible and light propagation follows the simple precepts of geometrical optics. A special case is the disperser or interferometer that provides the spectral information: these are also large size optical devices (say 5 cm to 1 m across), but which exhibit periodic structures commensurate with the working wavelengths. The next subsection gives a short reminder of geometrical optics formulae that dictate how light beams propagate in bulk optical systems. It is followed by an introduction of a fundamental global invariant (the optical etendue) that governs the 4D geometrical extent of the light beams that any kind of optical system can accept: it is particularly useful to derive what an instrument can – and cannot – offer in terms of 3D coverage (2D of space and 1 of wavelength). 1.1.1 Geometrical Optics #101 As a short reminder of geometrical optics, that is, again the rules that apply to light propagation when all optical elements (lenses, mirrors, stops) have no fea- tures at scales comparable or smaller than light wavelength are listed: 1) Light beams propagate in straight lines in any homogeneous medium (spa- tially constant index of refraction n). 2) When a beam of light crosses from a dielectric medium of index of refraction n1 (e.g., air with n close to 1) to another dielectric of refractive index n2 (e.g., an optical glass with refractive index roughly in the 1.5–1.75 range), part of the beam is transmitted (refracted) and the remainder is reflected.

Spectroscopy 7. Adaptive optics, coronagraphy 8. Submillimeter and radio 9. Interferometry, aperture synthesis 10. X-ray instrumentation Introduction Preface Progress in astronomy is fueled by new technical opportunities (Harwit, 1984). For a long time, steady and overall spectacular advances were made in telescopes and, more recently, in detectors for the optical. In the last 60 years, continued progress has been fueled by opening new spectral windows: radio, X-ray, infrared, gamma ray. We haven't run out of possibilities: submillimeter, hard X-ray/gamma ray, cold IR telescopes, multi-conjugate adaptive optics, neutrinos, and gravitational waves are some of the remaining frontiers. To stay at the forefront requires that you be knowledgeable about new technical possibilities. You will also need to maintain a broad perspective, an increasingly difficult challenge with the ongoing explosion of information. Much of the future progress in astronomy will come from combining insights in different spectral regions. Astronomy has become panchromatic. This is behind much of the push for Virtual Observatories and the development of data archives of many kinds. To make optimum use of all this information requires you to understand the capabilities and limitations of a broad range of instruments so you know the strengths and limitations of the data you are working with. As Harwit (1984) shows, before ~ 1950, discoveries were driven by other factors as much as by technology, but since then technology has had a discovery shelf life of only about 5 years! Most of the physics we use is more than 50 years old, and a lot of it is more than 100 years old.

Singapore Keynote Lecture 1:30 – 2:00 January 9, 2013 Solar Energy 2 Applications 3 The Stefan Boltzmann law s T4 is on page 1 of an optics book--- Something interesting is going on ! What is the best efficiency possible? When we pose this question, we are stepping outside the bounds of a particular subject. Questions of this kind are more properly the province of thermodynamics which imposes limits on the possible, like energy conservation and the impossible, like transferring heat from a cold body to a warm body without doing work. And that is why the fusion of the science of light (optics) with the science of heat (thermodynamics), is where much of the excitement is today. During a seminar I gave some ten years ago at the Raman Institute in Bangalore, the distinguished astrophysicist Venkatraman Radhakrishnan famously asked “how come geometrical optics knows the second law of thermodynamics?” This provocative question from C. V. Raman’s son serves to frame our discussion. Nonimaging Optics 5 During a seminar at the Raman Institute (Bangalore) in 2000, Prof. V. Radhakrishnan asked me: How does geometrical optics know the second law of thermodynamics? A few observations suffice to establish the connection. As is well-known, the solar spectrum fits a black body at 5670 K (almost 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit) Now a black body absorbs radiation at all wavelengths, and it follows from thermodynamics that its spectrum (the Planck spectrum1) is uniquely specified by temperature.

    Ultra compact optics for optical wireless communications Juan C. Miñano, Pablo Benítez, Rubén Mohedano, José L. Alvarez, Maikel Hernández, Juan C. González*, Kazutoshi Hirohashi**, Satoru Toguchi** IES, E.T.S.I. Telecomunicación, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain *Universidad Europea de Madrid, Villaviciosa de Odón, Madrid, Spain **HITS (High Speed Infrared Transmission Systems) Laboratories, Inc., 2-16-16 Chuourinkan, Yamato, 242-0007 Japan ABSTRACT Advanced optical design methods [J.C. Miñano, J.C. González, “New method of design of nonimaging concentrators”, Appl. Opt. 31, 1992, pp.3051-3060] using the keys of nonimaging optics lead to some ultra compact designs which combine the concentrating (or collimating) capabilities of conventional long focal length systems with a high collection efficiency [J.C. Miñano, J.C. González, P. Benítez, “A high gain, compact, nonimaging concentrator: the RXI”, Appl. Opt. 34, 1995, pp. 7850-7856 ][ J.C. Miñano, P. Benítez, J.C. González, “RX: a nonimaging concentrator”, Appl. Opt. 34, 1995, pp. 2226- 2235]. One of those designs is the so-called RXI. Its aspect ratio (thickness/aperture diameter) is less than 1/3. Used as a receiver, i.e. placing a photodiode at the proper position, it gets an irradiance concentration of the 95% of the theoretical thermodynamic limit (this means for example, a concentration of 1600 times with an acceptance angle of ±2.14 degrees). When used as an emitter (replacing the aforementioned photodiode by an LED, for instance), similar intensity gains may be obtained within an angle cone almost as wide as the 95% of the thermodynamic limit. In a real device these irradiance (and intensity) gains are reduced by the optical efficiency.

Sept/Oct 2008 | Issue 09 Optics Microstructured Optics SMS Design Methods Plastic Optics LED Driver Circuits Display Report Copyright © 2008 Luger Research & LED-professional. All rights reserved. There are over 20 billion light fixtures using incandescent, halogen, Design of LED or fluorescent lamps worldwide. Many of these fixtures are used for directional light applications but are based on lamps that put Optics out light in all directions. The United States Department of Energy (DOE) states that recessed downlights are the most common installed luminaire type in new residential construction. In addition, the DOE reports that downlights using non-reflector lamps are typically only 50% efficient, meaning half the light produced by the lamp is wasted inside the fixture. In contrast, lighting-class LEDs offer efficient, directional light that lasts at least 50,000 hours. Indoor luminaires designed to take advantage of all the benefits of lighting-class LEDs can exceed the efficacy of any incandescent and halogen luminaire. Furthermore, these LEDs match the performance of even the best CFL (compact fluorescent) recessed downlights, while providing a lifetime five to fifty times longer before requiring maintenance. Lastly, this class of LEDs reduces the environmental impact of light (i.e. no mercury, less power-plant pollution, and less landfill waste). Classical LED optics is composed of primary a optics for collimation and a secondary optics, which produces the required irradiance distribution. Efficient elements for primary optics are concentrators, either using total internal reflection or combined refractive/reflective versions.

    SCHRÖDINGER’S TRAIN OF THOUGHT Nicholas Wheeler, Reed College Physics Department April 2006 Introduction. David Griffiths, in his Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd edition, 2005), is content—at equation (1.1) on page 1—to pull (a typical instance of) the Schr¨odinger equation 2 2 i ∂Ψ = − ∂ Ψ + V Ψ ∂t 2m ∂x2 out of his hat, and then to proceed directly to book-length discussion of its interpretation and illustrative physical ramifications. I remarked when I wrote that equation on the blackboard for the first time that in a course of my own design I would feel an obligation to try to encapsulate the train of thought that led Schr¨odinger to his equation (1926), but that I was determined on this occasion to adhere rigorously to the text. Later, however, I was approached by several students who asked if I would consider interpolating an account of the historical events I had felt constrained to omit. That I attempt to do here. It seems to me a story from which useful lessons can still be drawn. 1. Prior events. Schr¨odinger cultivated soil that had been prepared by others. Planck was led to write E = hν by his successful attempt (1900) to use the then-recently-established principles of statistical mechanics to account for the spectral distribution of thermalized electromagnetic radiation. It was soon appreciated that Planck’s energy/frequency relation was relevant to the understanding of optical phenomena that take place far from thermal equilibrium (photoelectric effect: Einstein 1905; atomic radiation: Bohr 1913). By 1916 it had become clear to Einstein that, while light is in some contexts well described as a Maxwellian wave, in other contexts it is more usefully thought of as a massless particle, with energy E = hν and momentum p = h/λ.
