Editorial: Guided-Wave Optics
Guided waves represent a vast class of phenomena in which the propagation of collective excitations in various media is steered in required directions by fixed (or, sometimes, reconfigurable) conduits. Arguably, the most well-known and practically important waveguides are single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers [1,2], including their more sophisticated version in the form of photonic crystal ...
متن کاملDimensional optics , an alternative to relativity
Abstract. The starting point of this work is the principle that all movement of particles and photons in the observable Universe must follow geodesics of a 4-dimensional space where time intervals are always a measure of geodesic arc lengths, i.e. c(dt) = gαβdx dx, with c is the speed of light in vacuum, t time, gαβ and the metric tensor; x α represents any of 4 space coordinates. The last 3 co...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولGeometric optics and the wave equation on manifolds with corners
According to geometric optics, light propagates in straight lines (in homogeneous media), reflects/refracts from surfaces according to Snell’s law: energy and tangential momentum are conserved. Thus, when reflecting from a hypersurface (which has codimension one) one gets the usual law of incident and reflected rays enclosing an equal angle to the normal to the surface. Indeed, conservation of ...
متن کاملLong-wave Short-wave Resonance for Nonlinear Geometric Optics
The aim of this paper is to study oscillatory solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic systems in the framework developed during the last decade by J.-L. Joly, G. Métivier, and J. Rauch. Here we focus mainly on rectification effects, that is, the interaction of oscillations with a mean field created by the nonlinearity. A real interaction can occur only under some geometric conditions described in [JM...
