Matrix Methods in Geometrical Optics
As well as the geometrical methods used for solving lens problems, and locating the size and position of images in optical systems, there is an alternate, perhaps more versatile, method involving matrix manipulation. Many of you will be familiar with the use of simple 2x2 matrices. Firstly, however, before I consider the use of matrices in optics, I will review the matrix solution of two simult...

متن کاملMultiphase Computations in Geometrical Optics
In this work we propose a new set of partial diierential equations (PDEs) which can be seen as a generalization of the classical eikonal and transport equations, to allow for solutions with multiple phases. The traditional geometrical optics pair of equations suuer from the fact that the class of physically relevant solutions is limited. In particular, it does not include solutions with multipl...
متن کاملDiffusion-controlled reactions: Mathematical formulation, variational principles, and rigorous bounds
This paper is concerned with the problem of predicting the effective rate constant k associated with diffusion-controlled reactions in media composed of static and reactive traps (sinks) which are generally distributed randomly throughout a region containing reactive particles. The effective equation for diffusion-controlled reactions is derived using the method of homogenization. This leads to...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of polarization in Zn1−xMgxO
Wurtzite ZnO can be substituted with up to 30% MgO to form a metastable Zn1−xMgxO alloy while still retaining the wurtzite structure. Because this alloy has a larger band gap than pure ZnO, Zn1−xMgxO/ZnO quantum wells and superlattices are of interest as candidates for applications in optoelectronic and electronic devices. Here, we report the results of an ab initio study of the spontaneous pol...
