A simple Brownian-motion model explains delay-time measurements in frustrated total reflection experiments across microwave and visible light. The model also describes ray trajectories within the tunneling region.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Optics
  • Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Frustrated total reflection (FTR) experiments measure time delays in evanescent wave coupling.
  • Understanding wave propagation and tunneling in optical systems is crucial for various applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple model for interpreting delay-time measurements in FTR experiments.
  • To describe the trajectories of light (rays) within the tunneling region of FTR setups.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a model based on Brownian motion.
  • Application of the model to analyze experimental data from microwave and visible FTR experiments.

Main Results:

  • The Brownian-motion-derived model successfully interprets delay-time measurements in FTR experiments.
