X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
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...

Deflection of a Beam

Deflection of a Beam

Accurately determining beam deflection and slope under various loading conditions in structural engineering is crucial for ensuring safety and structural integrity. Singularity functions offer a streamlined approach to analyzing beams, especially when multiple loading functions complicate the bending moment equation.
Singularity functions, described in an earlier lesson, are powerful mathematical tools that represent discontinuities within a function commonly encountered in structural loading...

Area of Science:

Optics and Photonics
Wave Propagation

Background:

Partially coherent beams offer environmental resilience but suffer from diffraction.
Diffraction distorts traditional beams, limiting applications like optical information transfer.

Purpose of the Study:

Experimental verification of the beam's non-diffracting properties.
Analysis of beam invariance during propagation.

Main Results:

Successfully constructed a non-diffracting, partially coherent Pearcey beam.
Demonstrated beam invariance during propagation across different coherence states.
Experimental results closely matched theoretical predictions.

Conclusions:

The non-diffracting, partially coherent Pearcey beam maintains its integrity during propagation.
This beam shows potential as a robust information carrier for optical communication in adverse environments.
