Metamaterials for light rays: ray optics without wave-optical analog in the ray-optics limit
Volumes of sub-wavelength electromagnetic elements can act like homogeneous materials: metamaterials. In analogy, sheets of optical elements such as prisms can act ray-optically like homogeneous sheet materials. In this sense, such sheets can be considered to be metamaterials for light rays (METATOYs). METATOYs realize new and unusual transformations of the directions of transmitted light rays....
متن کاملLight rays and imaging in wave optics.
An interpretation of focusing and image formation on scattering of electromagnetic waves by a dielectric cylinder (a cylindrical lens) is proposed on the basis of the full Maxwell theory. It is centered on analysis of the behavior of integral curves of the Poynting vector here called wave rays. These wave rays cannot intersect so that the focusing and imaging spots are identified with regions o...
متن کاملUltimate justification: Wittgenstein and medical ethics.
Decisions must be justified. In medical ethics various grounds are given to justify decisions, but ultimate justification seems illusory and little considered. The philosopher Wittgenstein discusses the problem of ultimate justification in the context of general philosophy. His comments, nevertheless, are pertinent to ethics. From a discussion of Wittgensteinian notions, such as 'bedrock', the ...
متن کاملCoupled-Mode Theory for Guided-Wave Optics
Absrruct-The problem of propagation and interaction of optical radiation in dielectric waveguides is cast in the coupled-mode formalism. This approach is useful for treating problems involving energy exchange between modes. A derivation of the general theory is followed by application to the specific cases of electrooptic modulation, photoelastic and magnetooptic modulation, and optical filt...
متن کاملWave optics theory and 3-D deconvolution for the light field microscope.
Light field microscopy is a new technique for high-speed volumetric imaging of weakly scattering or fluorescent specimens. It employs an array of microlenses to trade off spatial resolution against angular resolution, thereby allowing a 4-D light field to be captured using a single photographic exposure without the need for scanning. The recorded light field can then be used to computationally ...
