An angular displacement interferometer based on total internal reflection
This paper describes a new angular displacement interferometer based on the internal-reflection effect. In order to make use of the internal-reflection effect, a novel prism assembly is designed, which yields a very compact optical configuration. As a result, the linearity of the angular displacement interferometer is greatly improved. Both the linearization of the measurement equation and the ...
متن کاملMeasurement of the total optical angular momentum transfer in optical tweezers.
We describe a way to determine the total angular momentum, both spin and orbital, transferred to a particle trapped in optical tweezers. As an example an LG(02) mode of a laser beam with varying degrees of circular polarisation is used to trap and rotate an elongated particle with a well defined geometry. The method successfully estimates the total optical torque applied to the particle. For th...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection holography for optical interconnections
Planar diffractive optical elements are well suited to fulfill the needs of optical interconnections. They are efficient and can serve as focusing elements, imaging elements, beam deflectors, and fan-out elements. Almost any shape of structure can be realized. This flexibility allows complex and compact interconnections. Two different types of diffractive optical elements exist: the holographic...
متن کاملIntegrated liquid crystal optical switch based on total internal reflection
An optical switch structure which combines a planar lightwave circuit and liquid crystal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The switching is realized by inducing total internal reflection through controlling the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The principle and the design of the integrated optical switch are described. Experimental results suggest that anchoring of the liquid ...
متن کاملOptical angular-momentum flux*
We introduce the angular-momentum flux as the natural description of the angular momentum carried by light. We present four main results: (i) angular-momentum flux is the flow of angular momentum across a surface and, in conjunction with the more familiar angular-momentum density, expresses the conservation of angular momentum. (ii) The angular-momentum flux for a light beam about its axis (or ...
