Ray-Optics Analysis of Inhomogeneous Uniaxially Anisotropic Media
Uniaxial optical anisotropy in the geometrical-optics approach is a classical problem and most of the theory is known for at least fifty years. Although the subject appears frequently in the literature, it is nearly silent about wave propagation through inhomogeneous anisotropic media. At the same time, the rapid advances in liquid-crystal lenses call for a good overview of the theory on wave p...
متن کاملRay-optics analysis of inhomogeneous biaxially anisotropic media.
Firm evidence of the biaxial nematic phase in liquid crystals, not induced by a magnetic or electric field, has been established only recently. The discovery of these biaxially anisotropic liquid crystals has opened up new areas of both fundamental and applied research. The advances in biaxial liquid-crystal-related topics call for a good overview on the propagation of waves through biaxially a...
متن کاملDynamic raytracing in inhomogeneous anisotropic media
I present a new differential equation system for dynamic raytracing in inhomogeneous anisotropic media. This new system is computationally much more efficient than the traditional elastic-parameter based system as the right-hand-side functions of this new system are simple. Evaluation of these functions involves only differentiation of phase velocities. Evaluation of the right-hand-side functio...
متن کاملTracing Three-Dimensional Acoustic Wavefronts in Inhomogeneous, Moving Media
We present a numerical implementation of an alternative formulation of the geometrical, or ray, acoustics, where wavefronts rather than rays are the primary objects. Rays are recovered as a byproduct of wavefront tracing. The alternative formulation of the geometrical acoustics is motivated, first, by the observation that wavefronts are often more stable than rays at long-range sound propagatio...
