Chiral Mirrors
Conventional mirrors convert right-handed circularly polarized waves (RCP) into left-handed circularly polarized waves (LCP) and vice versa, see Fig. 1(a-c). Here we demonstrate a novel type of chiral mirror that will reflect one circular polarization without changing its handedness, while absorbing waves of the opposite handedness, see Fig. 1(d-f). This functionality, which fundamentally relie...
متن کاملMirrors, mirrors on the wall…the ubiquitous multiple reflection error.
Participants decided when somebody, Janine, could see their face in a horizontal row of adjacent mirrors mounted flat on the same wall. They saw real mirrors and a shop-dummy representing Janine. Such coplanar mirrors reflect different, non-overlapping areas of a scene. However, almost everybody made an unexpected error: they claimed that Janine would see her face reflected in multiple mirrors ...
متن کاملSingularity analysis for integrable systems by their mirrors
We use the Lorenz system, the Rikitake model and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation to demonstrate that for completely integrable systems, there exist what we call regular mirror systems near movable singularities. The method for finding the mirror systems is very similar to the original Weiss et al’s (1983 J. Math. Phys. 24 522–6) version of the Painlevé test. It tests the complete integrabili...
متن کاملUltralightweight deformable mirrors.
This paper presents a concept for ultralightweight deformable mirrors, based on a thin substrate of optical surface quality, coated with continuous active layers that provide separate modes of actuation at different length scales. This concept eliminates any kind of stiff backing structure for the mirror surface and exploits microfabrication technologies to provide tight integration of the acti...
متن کاملRealism without Mirrors
Contemporary pragmatists, especially those who follow Richard Rorty’s lead, have contested the philosophical paradigm they have referred to as ‘representationalism’: the idea that our claims or beliefs describe or are ‘about’ the world. These ‘new pragmatists’ have often been seen to be in an antagonistic relationship with their antecedents, the pragmatists of the turn of the 20th century: thes...
