Examples of such materials are photonic crystals, which are periodic structures that affect the motion of light in much the same way as crystalline solids affect the flow of electrons. Optical information processing of the future is associated with a new generation of compact nanoscale optical devices operating entirely with light. For disordered structures, random light scattering and interference can produce an effect called localization, in which a light wave becomes "stuck" in closed paths inside the material, bouncing back and forth in complex looping paths called "modes". Derrick, “Comments on Nonlinear Wave Equations as Models for Elementary Particles,” J. Sandwiched a 20 -micron-thick layer . Describes how laser radiation propagates in natural and artificial materials and how the state of radiation can be controlled and manipulated (phase intensity, polarization) by various means. Further understanding of the microfabricated optical wave plate may be obtained by considering examples of its operation. V1/2 denotes the half-wave voltage. Transmission of an electro-optic device as a function of applied voltage. To form the Hopf fibration, Chen et al. A feature of chiral nematic liquid crystals that makes them ideal for generating the Hopf fibration is that the nematic director is easily splayed, bent, or twisted by an external stimulus, bounding surface, or an optical field. The baseline time span for this database is (publication years) 1998-June 30, 2008 from the third bimonthly update (a 10-year + 6-month period).
