Tight focusing of plane waves from micro-fabricated spherical mirrors.
We derive a formula for the light field of a monochromatic plane wave that is truncated and reflected by a spherical mirror. Within the scalar field approximation, our formula is valid even for deep mirrors, where the aperture radius approaches the radius of curvature. We apply this result to micro-fabricated mirrors whose size scales are in the range of tens to hundreds of wavelengths, and sho...
متن کاملReflection and Transmission of Plane Waves at Micropolar Piezothermoelastic Solids
The present investigation analysis a problem of reflection and transmission at an interface of two micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media. The basic equations and constitutive relations for micropolar orthotropic piezothermoelastic media for G-L theory are derived. The expressions for amplitude ratios corresponding to reflected and transmitted waves are derived analytically. The eff...
متن کاملImpulsive spherical gravitational waves
Penrose’s identification with warp provides the general framework for constructing the continuous form of impulsive gravitational wave metrics. We present the 2-component spinor formalism for the derivation of the full family of impulsive spherical gravitational wave metrics which brings out the power in identification with warp and leads to the simplest derivation of exact solutions. These sol...
متن کاملComplexity of Plane and Spherical Curves
We show that the maximal number of singular moves required to pass between any two regularly homotopic plane or spherical curves with at most n crossings grows quadratically with respect to n. Furthermore, for any two regularly homotopic curves with at most n crossings, there exists such a sequence of singular moves, satisfying the quadratic bound, for which all curves along the way have at mos...
متن کاملspherical interpretation of plane geometry in menelaus of alexandria’s sphaerica
menelaus’ sphaerica can be considered as the most important classical text in the tradition of spherics books, written with the aim of the solution of problems arising in spherical astonomy. euclid’s elements is the the most important book on plane geometry. this article aims at a comparative study of menelaus’s sphaerica and euclid’s elements, to show that book i of sphaerica is an attempt to ...
