Fresnel's laws in discrete optical media

چکیده
We present the discrete analog of Snell’s refraction law at the interface between two dissimilar waveguide arrays. Additionally, reflection and transmission coefficients for the Bloch waves are derived analytically. The theoretical findings were confirmed by analyzing the evolution of light in femtosecond laser written waveguide arrays.

Fractal Weyl law for chaotic microcavities: Fresnel's laws imply multifractal scattering.
We demonstrate that the harmonic inversion technique is a powerful tool to analyze the spectral properties of optical microcavities. As an interesting example we study the statistical properties of complex frequencies of the fully chaotic microstadium. We show that the conjectured fractal Weyl law for open chaotic systems [Lu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 154101 (2003)] is valid for dielectric microcav...
متن کاملFresnel laws at curved dielectric interfaces of microresonators.
We discuss curvature corrections to Fresnel's laws for the reflection and transmission of light at a nonplanar refractive-index boundary. The reflection coefficients are obtained from the resonances of a dielectric disk within a sequential-reflection model. The Goos-Hänchen effect for curved light fronts at a planar interface can be adapted to provide a qualitative and quantitative extension of...
متن کاملMapping of Fresnel's interface reflection coefficients between normal and oblique incidence: results for the parallel and perpendicular polarizations at several angles of incidence.
The functions, w = f(z), that describe the transformation of Fresnel's reflection coefficients of parallel and perpendicularly polarized light between normal and oblique incidence, as well as their inverses, z = g(w), are studied in detail as conformal mappings between the complex z and w planes for angles of incidence of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees . New nomograms are obtained for the deter...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Optical Properties and Peak Behavior Due to Plasmon Resonance of Silver Cubic-Shape Nanostructures by Means of Discrete Dipole Approximation
In this article, the optical properties of silver cubic-shape nanostructures (SCNs) were analyzed by employing the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in aqueous media. The absorption, dispersion and extinction cross-sections of these nanostructures were calculated based on the wavelength change of the incident light in the visible and near infrared region. Moreover, the height change, waveleng...
متن کاملThe comparison of two high-order semi-discrete central schemes for solving hyperbolic conservation laws
This work presents two high-order, semi-discrete, central-upwind schemes for computing approximate solutions of 1D systems of conservation laws. We propose a central weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) reconstruction, also we apply a fourth-order reconstruction proposed by Peer et al., and afterwards, we combine these reconstructions with a semi-discrete central-upwind numerical flux ...
