Experimental observation of total-internal-reflection rainbows.
A new class of rainbows is created when a droplet is illuminated from the inside by a point light source. The position of the rainbow depends on both the index of refraction of the droplet and the position of the light source, and the rainbow vanishes when the point source is too close to the center of the droplet. Here we experimentally measure the position of the transmission and one-internal...
متن کاملPolarized backlight based on selective total internal reflection at microgrooves.
A polarized backlight for LCD illumination is designed and fabricated in which s-polarized light is extracted owing to selective total internal reflection at microstructures in the anisotropic layer. From the measurement, the contrast ratio in normal viewing direction can be as high as 64. Luminous uniformity of higher than 80% is achieved for polarized backlights. Furthermore, 1.6 gain in effi...
متن کاملPolarized light reflection from strained sinusoidal surfaces.
We propose optical polarization imaging as a minimally invasive technique for measuring the mechanical properties of plastics and soft tissues through their change in reflectance properties with applied strain or force. We suggest that changes in surface roughness are responsible for the linear reflectivity changes with applied stretch or strain. Several aspects of this model are tested, includ...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection fluorescence.
Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is an optical effect particularly well-suited to the study of molecular and cellular phenomena at liquid/solid interfaces. Such interfaces are central to a wide range of biochemical and biophysical processes: binding to and triggering of cells by hormones, neurotransmitters, and antigens; blood coagulation at foreign surfaces; electron transport in ...
متن کاملGuiding Light by and beyond the Total Internal Reflection Mechanism
Photonics plays an important role in modern technologies, e.g. in telecommunications and sensing systems. Waveguiding structures with microand nano-meter scale features are the basic building blocks of photonic circuits. Large varieties of structures have been used by scientists and engineers. These range from the conventional planar and channel waveguides, which work on the basis of the total-...
