Reflection and Refraction

Source: Derek Wilson, Asantha Cooray, PhD, Department of Physics & Astronomy, School of Physical Sciences, University of California, Irvine, CA
Light travels at different speeds depending on the material through which it is propagating. When light travels from one material to another, it will either slow down or speed up. In order to conserve energy and momentum, the light must change the direction in which it propagates. This bending of light is known as refraction. Some fraction of...

Total Internal Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (TIRAS) for the Detection of Solvated Electrons at a Plasma-liquid Interface

14.3K
This article presents a total internal reflection absorption spectroscopy (TIRAS) method for measuring short-lived free radicals at a plasma-liquid interface. In particular, TIRAS is used to identify solvated electrons based on their optical absorbance of red light near 700...

    Area of Science:

    • Nonlinear optics
    • Condensed matter physics

    Background:

    • Photorefractive materials exhibit light-induced refractive index changes.
    • Optical solitons are self-reinforcing light beams that maintain their shape.
    • Waveguides confine and guide light propagation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic induction of a refractive index interface in photorefractive materials.
    • To study the effects of this interface on bright photorefractive solitons and waveguides.
    • To analyze the influence of electric field gradients on light reflection and refraction.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical simulations of soliton and waveguide behavior.
    • Experimental studies using nominally undoped lithium niobate.
    • Application of different electric fields to induce an electric wall.

    Main Results:

    • The induced electric wall dynamically controls soliton reflection and refraction.
    • Reflection and refraction efficiency are dependent on the amplitude and sign of applied voltages.
    • The interface influences both the self-confining beam and signals within the waveguide.

    Conclusions:

    • An electric wall in photorefractive materials can effectively manipulate light beams.
    • The study demonstrates tunable control over soliton dynamics and waveguide properties.
    • Results suggest potential applications in optical switching and signal processing.
