    ICO topical meeting on Polarization Optics, Joensuu. eds: Asher A. Friesem and Jari Turunen, Published by University of Joensuu (Physics), June 2003, pp 18-19 The singularities of crystal optics Michael Berry and Mark Dennis H H Wills Physics Laboratory, Tyndall Avenue, Bristol BS8 1TL, United Kingdom http://www.phy.bris.ac.uk/staff/berry_mv.html This is a summary of our recent paper [1], where we reconstruct the classical theory of crystal optics [2] in a way that emphasises and extends recent ideas of singular optics [3, 4]. We concentrate on the general case where the crystal is chiral, i.e. optically active (gy- rotropic) and absorbing (dichroic) as well as biaxially anisotropic, and describe the proper- ties of the crystal as a function of propagation direction s. The refractive indices and po- larizations of plane waves are eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the 2x2 part of the recip- rocal dielectric tensor h perpendicular to s. For transparent anisotropic crystals, h is real symmetric; addition of chirality makes h complex hermitian; addition of dichroism makes h complex nonhermitian. These different possibilities greatly influence the refractive indi- ces and eigenpolarizations. Using a new formalism involving projection from the sphere of directions s to the stereo- graphic plane R=X,Y, and associated complex variables Z=X+iY, we obtain convenient ex- plicit formulas for the two refractive indices and polarizations. Particular use is made of a representation of the polarization states as the complex ratios of their vector components. This enables three types of polarization singularity to classified and explored. First are sin- gular axes, which are degeneracies where the two refractive indices are equal.

  • Chapter 4 Reflected Light Optics
    l CHAPTER 4 REFLECTED LIGHT OPTICS 4.1 INTRODUCTION Light is a form ofelectromagnetic radiation. which may be emitted by matter that is in a suitably "energized" (excited) state (e.g.,the tungsten filament ofa microscope lamp emits light when "energized" by the passage of an electric current). One ofthe interesting consequences ofthe developments in physics in the early part of the twentieth century was the realization that light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can be described both as waves and as a stream ofparticles (photons). These are not conflicting theories but rather complementary ways of describing light; in different circumstances. either one may be the more appropriate. For most aspects ofmicroscope optics. the "classical" approach ofdescribing light as waves is more applicable. However, particularly (as outlined in Chapter 5) when the relationship between the reflecting process and the structure and composition ofa solid is considered. it is useful to regard light as photons. The electromagnetic radiation detected by the human eye is actually only a very small part of the complete electromagnetic spectrum, which can be re­ garded as a continuum from the very low energies and long wavelengths characteristic ofradio waves to the very high energies (and shortwavelengths) of gamma rays and cosmic rays. As shown in Figure 4.1, the more familiar regions ofthe infrared, visible light, ultraviolet. and X-rays fall between these extremes of energy and wavelength. Points in the electromagnetic spectrum can be specified using a variety ofenergy or wavelength units. The most com­ mon energy unit employed by physicists is the electron volt' (eV).

Abstract: Optical filters have received much attention currently due to the increasing demand in various applications. Spectral filters block specific wavelengths or ranges of wavelengths and transmit the rest of the spectrum. This paper reports on the simulated TiO2 – SiO2 optical filters. The design utilizes a high refractive index TiO2 thin films which were fabricated using spray Pyrolysis technique and low refractive index SiO2 obtained theoretically. The refractive index and extinction coefficient of the fabricated TiO2 thin films were extracted by simulation based on the best fit. This data was then used to design a five alternating layer stack which resulted into band pass with notch filters. The number of band passes and notches increase with the increase of individual layer thickness in the stack. Keywords: Multilayer, Optical filter, TiO2 and SiO2, modeling. 1. Introduction successive boundaries of different layers of the stack. The interface formed between the alternating layers has a great influence on the performance of the multilayer devices [4].

  • Second Harmonic Generation in Nonlinear Optical Crystal
    Second Harmonic Generation in Nonlinear Optical Crystal Diana Jeong 1. Introduction In traditional electromagnetism textbooks, polarization in the dielectric material is linearly proportional to the applied electric field. However since in 1960, when the coherent high intensity light source became available, people realized that the linearity is only an approximation. Instead, the polarization can be expanded in terms of applied electric field. (Component - wise expansion) (1) (1) (2) (3) Pk = ε 0 (χ ik Ei + χ ijk Ei E j + χ ijkl Ei E j Ek +L) Other quantities like refractive index (n) can be expanded in terms of electric field as well. And the non linear terms like second (E^2) or third (E^3) order terms become important. In this project, the optical nonlinearity is present in both the source of the laser-mode-locked laser- and the sample. Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is a coherent optical process of radiation of dipoles in the material, dependent on the second term of the expansion of polarization. The dipoles are oscillated with the applied electric field of frequency w, and it radiates electric field of 2w as well as 1w. So the near infrared input light comes out as near UV light. In centrosymmetric materials, SHG cannot be demonstrated, because of the inversion symmetries in polarization and electric field. The only odd terms survive, thus the second order harmonics are not present. SHG can be useful in imaging biological materials. For example, the collagen fibers and peripheral nerves are good SHG generating materials. Since the SHG is a coherent process it, the molecules, or the dipoles are not excited in terms of the energy levels.

  • Experience with Ray-Tracing Simulations at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
    Experience with ray-tracing simulations at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility Manuel Sánchez del Río European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, BP 220, F-38043 Grenoble Cedex 9 (France) (Presented on 18 October 1995) The ESRF is the first operational third-generation synchrotron radiation hard-x-ray source. Since the beginning of its construction (1988), the ray-tracing technique proved to be an essential computer tool for the beamline optics design. The optical systems of most beamlines have been simulated by ray tracing in order to optimize the optics, fully understand their properties, and check if operation performances were as expected.

  • Lecture 14: Polarization

These are complex 3 dimensional vectors. The wavevector ~k and angular frequency ω are real and in the vacuum are related by ω = c ~k . This relation implies that electromagnetic waves are disper- sionless with velocity c: the speed of light. In materials, like a prism, light can have dispersion. We will come to this later. In addition, we found that for plane waves 1 B~ = ~k × E~ (2) 0 ω 0 This equation implies that the magnetic field in a plane wave is completely determined by the electric field. In particular, it implies that their magnitudes are related by ~ ~ E0 = c B0 (3) and that ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ k · E0 =0, k · B0 =0, E0 · B0 =0 (4) In other words, the polarization vector of the electric field, the polarization vector of the mag- netic field, and the direction ~k that the plane wave is propagating are all orthogonal. To see how much freedom there is left in the plane wave, it’s helpful to choose coordinates. We can always define the zˆ direction as where ~k points. When we put a hat on a vector, it means the unit vector pointing in that direction, that is zˆ=(0, 0, 1). Thus the electric field has the form iω z −t E~ E~ e c = 0 (5) ~ ~ which moves in the z direction at the speed of light.

  • Circular Birefringence in Crystal Optics
    Circular birefringence in crystal optics a) R J Potton Joule Physics Laboratory, School of Computing, Science and Engineering, Materials and Physics Research Centre, University of Salford, Greater Manchester M5 4WT, UK. Abstract In crystal optics the special status of the rest frame of the crystal means that space- time symmetry is less restrictive of electrodynamic phenomena than it is of static electromagnetic effects. A relativistic justification for this claim is provided and its consequences for the analysis of optical activity are explored. The discrete space-time symmetries P and T that lead to classification of static property tensors of crystals as polar or axial, time-invariant (-i) or time-change (-c) are shown to be connected by orientation considerations. The connection finds expression in the dynamic phenomenon of gyrotropy in certain, symmetry determined, crystal classes. In particular, the degeneracies of forward and backward waves in optically active crystals arise from the covariance of the wave equation under space-time reversal. a) Electronic mail: [email protected] 1 1. Introduction To account for optical activity in terms of the dielectric response in crystal optics is more difficult than might reasonably be expected [1]. Consequently, recourse is typically had to a phenomenological account. In the simplest cases the normal modes are assumed to be circularly polarized so that forward and backward waves of the same handedness are degenerate. If this is so, then the circular birefringence can be expanded in even powers of the direction cosines of the wave normal [2]. The leading terms in the expansion suggest that optical activity is an allowed effect in the crystal classes having second rank property tensors with non-vanishing symmetrical, axial parts.

Let's begin by considering the case of reflection and transmission where the incident wave is normal to the interface, as shown in Figure 5.1. We have been using E = E0 exp[i(kz − !t)] to describe waves, where the speed of the wave (a function of the material) is !=k. In order to express the wave in terms which are explicitly a function of the material in which it is propagating, we can write the wavenumber k as: ! !n k = = = nk0 (5.1) c c0 where n is the refractive index of the material and k0 is the wavenumber of the wave, were it to be travelling in free space. We will therefore write a wave as the following (with z replaced with whatever direction the wave is travelling in): Ex = E0 exp [i (nk0z − !t)] (5.2) In this problem there are three waves we must consider: the incident wave A, the reflected wave B and the transmitted wave C. We'll write down the equations for each of these waves, using the impedance Z = Ex=Hy, and noting the flip in the direction of H upon reflection (see Figure 5.1), and the different refractive indices and impedances for the different materials.
