Particle Refraction, Reflection and Channeling by Laser Beams
It is shown that the charged particles are refracted and reflected on the boundary of field free and laser field regions in vacuum. Simple and transparent estimates are given which show the possibility of channeling of charged and neutral particles having polarizability by strong electromagnetic field of certain laser bunches just as by the field of orientated crystalline planes and axes. These...
متن کاملReflection and refraction of light from metasurfaces with phase discontinuities
A three-dimensional extension of the recently demonstrated generalization of the laws of refraction and reflection was investigated for both flat and curved metasurfaces. We found that out-of-plane refraction occurs for a metasurface that imparts a wavevector out of the plane of incidence onto the incident light beam. Metasurfaces provide arbitrary control over the direction of refraction, and ...
متن کاملTeaching light reflection and refraction to the blind
The late trends in special education policy aim to maintain in the same school system students with and without special needs. In the case of students with visual impairment, one of the main problems they face, particularly in physics, is the lack of instructional materials adapted to the experimental laboratory. In this paper we present strategies, activities and resources for instructional us...
متن کاملInternal conical refraction of light beams in biaxial gyrotropic crystals
Internal conical refraction in biaxial gyrotropic crystals has been studied theoretically. A special case of Gaussian beam conical refraction has been considered comprehensively. The results of numerical simulation agree well with the available experimental data. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 42.25.Bs; 42.25.Lc; 42.25.Fx; 78.20.Ek; 78.20.Fm
متن کاملWhat is the Temporal Analog of Reflection and Refraction of Optical Beams?
It is shown numerically and analytically that when an optical pulse approaches a moving temporal boundary across which the refractive index changes, it undergoes a temporal equivalent of reflection and refraction of optical beams at a spatial boundary. The main difference is that the role of angles is played by changes in the frequency. The frequency dependence of the dispersion of the material...
