The propagating and evanescent field components of localized wave solutions
The diverging and converging components of localized wave solutions are studied within the framework of both the Whittaker and Weyl plane wave expansions. The specific example of the splash pulse is considered because its evanescent components could be derived in an explicit closed form. It is shown that, in the Weyl picture, the evanescent fields associated with the diverging and converging co...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum Quanta in Fresnel's Evanescent Wave
Fresnel's theory of the evanescent wave in total reflection entails that the propagation vector k and the momentum quanta hk have an imaginary component and, thus, a projection on the reflecting plane that is larger (in units such that c = 1) than the angular frequency ~o and the energy quanta ho). We discuss the 'tachyon properties' of these energy-momentum quanta and propose an experimental t...
متن کاملEvanescent Wave Illumination
When an electromagnetic wave (light) in a dielectric medium of index n1 is incident upon an interface of a different dielectric material of a lower optical density, n2 at an angle θ1 greater than the critical angle, θc = sin−1(n2/n1), total internal reflection (TIR) occurs. Although all of the incident energy is reflected, an electromagnetic field with exponentially decreasing intensity propaga...
متن کاملTesting the kinetic energy functional : Kinetic energy density as a density functional
A new method for defining an energy density for the noninteracting kinetic energy of density functional theory is given. The resulting energy density is a density functional determined completely by the kinetic energy functional itself. Although this method is not constructive, it allows for a direct comparison between exact and approximate functionals pointwise in space. For simple systems, th...
متن کاملAn experimental investigation of evanescent wave propagation through a turning depth
The formation of internal waves from evanescent regions is studied experimentally with a Gaussian topography and varying natural frequency (N) profiles. When a topography is encompassed by an evanescent region, where N is less than the imposed excitation frequency, only evanescent waves are generated. The amplitude of these evanescent waves decay at an exponential rate while traveling verticall...
