Interaction between coaxial dielectric disks enhances the Q factor

An All-Dielectric Coaxial Waveguide.

An all-dielectric coaxial waveguide that can overcome problems of polarization rotation and pulse broadening in the transmission of optical light is presented here. It consists of a coaxial waveguiding region with a low index of refraction, bounded by two cylindrical, dielectric, multilayer, omnidirectional reflecting mirrors. The waveguide can be designed to support a single mode whose propert...

Magnetic Interaction Between Stars And Accretion Disks

In this review I consider modern theoretical models of coupled star–disk magnetospheres. I discuss a number of models, both stationary and time-dependent, and examine what physical conditions govern the selection of a preferred model.

Asymptotic analysis of dielectric coaxial fibers.

Using an asymptotic analysis, we analytically calculate the dispersion and the field distribution of guided modes in an all-dielectric coaxial fiber. We compare the analytical results with those obtained from numerical calculations and find excellent agreement between them. We demonstrate that both the Bragg reflection and the total internal reflection play important roles in providing confinem...

SCATiERlNG FROM THIN DIELECTRIC DISKS

A solution has been obtained for s, ,ring from thin dielectric disks by approximating the currents induced inside the disk with the currents which would exist inside a dielectric slab of the same thickness, orientation and dielectric properties. This approximation reduces to an electrostatic approximation when the disk thickness, T, is small compared to the wavelength of the incident radiation ...
