Total internal reflection only occurs when light goes from a high index material to a low index material. 2 Refraction Water Waves E&M Waves on flickr Image by NOAA Photo library Image by NOAA http://www.flickr.com/photos/ noaaphotolib/5179052751/ Waves refract at the top where the water is shallower Refraction involves a change in the direction of wave propagation due to a change in propagation speed. It involves the oblique incidence of waves on media boundaries, and hence wave propagation in at least two dimensions. 3 Refraction in Suburbia Think of refraction as a pair of wheels on an axle going from a sidewalk onto grass. The wheel in the grass moves slower, so the direction of the wheel pair changes. Note that the wheels move faster (longer space) on the sidewalk, and slower (shorter space) in the grass. 4 Total Internal Reflection in Suburbia Moreover, this wheel analogy is mathematically equivalent to the refraction phenomenon. One can recover Snells law from it: n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2 . The upper wheel hits the sidewalk and starts to go faster, which turns the axle until the upper wheel re-enters the grass and wheel pair goes straight again. 5 Oblique Incidence (3D view) k i θi x y kiz kix z Boundary kix = ki sin(θi) kiz = ki cos(θi) Identical definitions for kr and kt 6 Oblique Incidence at Dielectric Interface Hr Et Er Transverse Electric Field Ei Ht Hi Hr Et Er Transverse H t Magnetic Field Ei Hi y • Why do we consider only these two polarizations? 7 Partial TE Analysis E E j(ωt−k·kr) E Eoe H z = 0 = r ω = ω = ω i r t Et Er - i −jkixx−jkiz z Ei =ˆyE e Ht o Ei - r −jkrxx+jkrz z Er =ˆyEo e Hi • y - t −jktxx−jktz z Et =ˆyEoe Tangential E must be continuous at the boundary z = 0 for all x and for t. i −jkix r −jkrxx t −jktxx Eoe+ Eo e = Eoe This is possible if and only if kix = krx = ktx and ωi = ωr = ωt.

The dipoles that produce the transmitted (refracted) light oscillate in the polarization direction of that light. These same oscillating dipoles also generate the reflected light. However, dipoles do not radiate any energy in the direction along which they oscillate. Consequently, if the direction of the refracted light is perpendicular to the direction in which the light is predicted to be specularly reflected, the dipoles will not create any TM-polarized reflected light. 22 Energy Transport A cos θ A cos θ i θ r i θr T⊥ TE A ni R⊥ nt T � A cos θt n1 =1.0 TM n =1.5 2 Cross-sectional Areas i i Si = E H cos θi R o o � θB --- S = Et Ht cos θ S = E × H t o o t θi [Degrees] r r Sr = E H cos θr o o 23 Transmitted Power Fraction: � t 2 �2 t t (E ) cos θt S E H cos θ o μ2 N t o o t 2 t Ts = = = � = tE i i 2 � Si EoHo cos θi (Ei ) 1 cos θ Ni o i μ1 � 2 μ (Ht) 2 cos θ o � t M 2 2 t = � = t 2 μ H (Hi ) 1 cos θ Mi o i �1 t 2 (Eo) 2 2 ≡ tE i (Eo) t 2 (Ho) 2 2 ≡ tH i (Ho) 24 Reflected Power Fraction: � r 2 � r r (E ) 1 S E H cos θ o μ1 r o o r 2 Rs = = = � = rE i i 2 Si E H cos θi i �1 o o (Eo) μ1 � r 2 μ1 (Ho ) � 1 2 = � = r 2 μ H i 1 2 (Ho) (Er) �1 o 2 2 ≡ rE i (Eo) (Hr)2 o 2 … and from ENERGY CONSERVATION we know: 2 ≡ rH (Hi ) T + R =1 o S S 25 Summary CASE I: E-field is polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence … then E-field is parallel (tangential) to the surface, 1+r = t and continuity of tangential fields requires that: E E TS + RS =1 N 2 t 2 (tE ) +(rE ) =1 Ni N 2 t 2 (1 + rE ) +(rE ) =1 Ni Er N − N Et 2N r = o = i t t =1+r = o = i E i E E i E Ni + Nt E Ni + Nt o o 26 Summary CASE II: H-field is polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence … then H-field is parallel (tangential) to the surface, 1+rH = tH and continuity of tangential fields requires that: TS + RS =1 2 Mt 2 (tH ) +(rH ) =1 Mi 2 Mt 2 (1 + rH ) +(rH ) =1 Mi Hr M − M Ht 2M o i t o i rH = = t =1+r = = i H H i Ho Mi + Mt H Mi + Mt o 27 MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu 6.007 Electromagnetic Energy: From Motors to Lasers Spring 2011 For information about citing these materials or our Terms of Use, visit: http://ocw.mit.edu/terms.

  • The Fresnel Equations and Brewster's Law
    The Fresnel Equations and Brewster's Law Equipment Optical bench pivot, two 1 meter optical benches, green laser at 543.5 nm, 2 10cm diameter polarizers, rectangular polarizer, LX-02 photo-detector in optical mount, thick acrylic block, thick glass block, Phillips multimeter, laser mount, sunglasses. Purpose To investigate polarization by reflection. To understand and verify the Fresnel equations. To explore Brewster’s Law and find Brewster’s angle experimentally. To use Brewster’s law to find Brewster’s angle. To gain experience working with optical equipment. Theory Light is an electromagnetic wave, of which fundamental characteristics can be described in terms of the electric field intensity. For light traveling along the z-axis, this can be written as r r i(kz−ωt) E = E0e (1) r where E0 is a constant complex vector, and k and ω are the wave number and frequency respectively, with k = 2π / λ , (2) λ being the wavelength. The purpose of this lab is to explore the properties the electric field in (1) at the interface between two media with indices of refraction ni and nt . In general, there will be an incident, reflected and transmitted wave (figure 1), which in certain cases reduce to incident and reflected or incident and transmitted only. Recall that the angles of the transmitted and reflected beams are described by the law of reflection and Snell’s law. This however tells us nothing about the amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted Figure 1 electric fields. These latter properties are defined by the Fresnel equations, which we review below.

  • Electromagnetic Waves
    Electromagnetic Waves Lecture34: Electromagnetic Theory Professor D. K. Ghosh, Physics Department, I.I.T., Bombay Electromagnetic wave at the interface between two dielectric media We have so far discussed the propagation of electromagnetic wave in an isotropic, homogeneous, dielectric medium, such as in air or vacuum. In this lecture, we woulddiscuss what happens when a plane electromagnetic wave is incident at the interface between two dielectric media. For being specific, we will take one of the medium to be air or vacuum and the other to be a dielectric such as glass. We have come across this in school in connection with the reflection and transmission of light waves at such an interface. In this lecture, we would investigate this problem from the point of view of electromagnetic theory. Let us choose the interface to be the xy plane (z=0). The angles of incidence, reflection and refraction are the angles made by the respective propagation vectors with the common normal at the interface. 1 We have indicated the propation vectors in the apprpriate medium by capital letters I, R and T so as not to confuse with the notation for the position vector and time t. The principle that we use to establish the laws of reflection⃗ and refraction is the continuity of the tangential components of the electric field at the interface, as discussed extensively during the course of these lectures. Let us represent the component of the electric field parallel to the interface by the superscript . We then have, ∥ 0 exp + 0 exp = 0 exp ∥ ∥ This equation� ���⃗ ⋅ must⃗ − remain� valid at� all����⃗ points⋅ ⃗ − in the� interface � and ����⃗ at⋅ ⃗all− times.� That is obviously possible if the exponential factors is the same for all the three terms or if they differe at best by a constant phase factor.

Apparatus Required: He laser, dial fitted polarizer, photo detector, micro ammeter, rotational mount, glass plate, constant power supply . Formula Used : Brewsters angle for a given pair of medium is 푛 θB = 휃 = 푡푎푛 ( ) 푛 Where n1 and n2 are refractive index of medium 1 and 2 respectively Principle: When light moves between two media of differing refractive index (n), some of the light is reflected from the surface of the denser material. This reflected ray’s intensity changes with change in the incident angle (휃) at the interface of two mediums. At one specific angle of incidence of light only perpendicular vibrations of electric field vectors are reflected whereas parallel vibrations are restricted or polarized. This loss in light intensity is due to polarization by reflection and the angle of incidence for which reflected ray is polarized is called the Brewster's angle θ (also known as the Polarization angle). B This phenomenon of polarization by reflection is illustrated in the figure below. Figure1. Polarization by reflection and Brewster's angle (θ ) B Department of Physics, IIT Roorkee © 1 Experiments for B. Tech. 1st Year Physics Laboratory The fraction of the incident light that is reflected depends on both the angle of incidence and the polarization direction of the incident light. The functions that describe the reflection of light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the plane of incidence are called the Fresnel Equations.

  • EXPERIMENT 3 Fresnel Reflection
    EXPERIMENT 3 Fresnel Reflection 1. Reflectivity of polarized light The reflection of a polarized beam of light from a dielectric material such as air/glass was described by Augustin Jean Fresnel in 1823. While his derivation was based on an elastic theory of light waves, the same results are found with electromagnetic theory. The ratio of the reflected intensity to the incident intensity is called the reflectivity of the surface. It depends on the polarization of the incident light wave. Let be the angle of incidence and be the angle of transmission. Snell’s law relates these according to the refractive index in each media and : ( ) ( ) (1) The reflectivity for light polarized parallel to the plane of incidence (known as p-polarized light) is ( ) (2) ( ) but for light polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence (known as s-polarized light) it is ( ) (3) ( ) Notice that for p-polarized light the denominator of the right hand side will be infinite when the sum ( ) . The angle of 1 incidence when this happens is called Brewster’s angle, . For light polarized in the plane of incidence, no energy is reflected at Brewster’s angle, i.e. 2. Making the measurements Getting started: A He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) beam is reflected from the front face of a prism on a rotating table. You can read the angle of rotation of the table from the precision index and vernier. It is very important to locate the center of the prism over the axis of rotation. Do this as best you can by eye.

  • 3.3.3 Fresnel Equations Snell's Law Describes How the Angles Of
    3.3.3 Fresnel equations Snell’s law describes how the angles of incidence and transmission are related through the refractive indices of the respective media. But what about the intensity of transmitted and reflected light? We are looking at a picture of the Montana glacier parks. White mountain tops are reflected in a perfectly still lake Mcdonald. It is a beautiful example of this video’s subject. Not only do we see the mountain tops reflected in the water, we can also find the each and every pebble lying on the bottom of the lake. A fraction of the light, reflected by the mountain tops, is reflected off the surface of the water. Another part is transmitted into the water and reflects off the rocks and pebbles. The Fresnel equations describe the intensity of the reflected and transmitted fractions. In this video we will learn which properties of light and matter affect the intensity of the transmitted and reflected light waves. We will introduce the concept of light polarization. Then we will discuss the fresnel equations and, finally, we will apply them to improve our solar cells. Let's look into the parameters that affect the fractions of light that are transmitted and reflected. This figure shows a light beam incident on the interface of two media. The refractive indices of both media, that describe how easily light propagates through a material, play an important role. The angle of incidence is also an important parameter. With the refractive indices and the angle of incidence we can calculate the angle of transmission, according to Snell’s law.
