Far-field diffraction patterns by a thin nonlinear absorptive nonlocal media
Abstract:
In this work we present numerical results of the far field intensity distributions obtained for a Gaussian beam after crossing a thin nonlinear nonlocal material that exhibit nonlinear refraction and absorption. The distributions are obtained for different positions along the Z axis and different signs of the nonlinear absorption. The results demonstrate that the far field intensity patterns obtained for strong nonlocal media are more affected by the presence of the nonlinear absorption than weak nonlocal media.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...
