Interference of Light
When plane waves come in contact with a barrier that is not significantly larger than their wavelength, the waves spread out into spherical waves (figure 1). The effect is to allow waves to spread out in all directions from the edges of the barrier, a phenomenon called diffraction. This spreading enables the waves to “go around corners”. If two or more rays pass through the same point in space ...
متن کاملLight-superconducting interference devices
Recently, we have proposed the half-Josephson laser (HJL): a device that combines lasing with superconducting leads, providing a locking between the optical phase and the superconducting phase difference between the leads. In this work, we propose and investigate two setups derived from a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), where two conventional Josephson junctions are replace...
متن کاملMisinterpretation of the Shuttleworth equation
It has been argued for sixty years that there exists a relation between surface tension and surface energy on an unstrained solid as given by the Shuttleworth equation. It is shown here that the Shuttleworth equation reduces to the definition of surface tension derived from mechanics. Therefore, it provides no additional relation to the physics of surfaces. This derivation also reveals precisel...
متن کاملThe Misinterpretation of Passive Sentences
2 Abstract A fundamental task of the language comprehension system is to assign thematic roles to concepts in sentences and then maintain them. The comprehension system has access to two sources of information for thematic roles: one is the syntactic structure, and the other is information in long-term memory. In a sentence such as the dog was bitten by the man, the syntactic source specifies t...
متن کاملSpatial light interference tomography (SLIT)
We present spatial light interference tomography (SLIT), a label-free method for 3D imaging of transparent structures such as live cells. SLIT uses the principle of interferometric imaging with broadband fields and combines the optical gating due to the micron-scale coherence length with that of the high numerical aperture objective lens. Measuring the phase shift map associated with the object...
