The Slab Waveguide 6.1 Guided Waves in a Metal Guide
It is now time to consider more effective guiding structures for electromagnetic waves. To introduce the basic ideas, we shall start with a very simple geometry, the metal-walled guide. Though this is not actually used at optical frequencies, it contains nearly all the features of more useful guides and can be analysed with little mathematics. The metalwalled guide consists of two plane mirrors...
متن کاملWaveform modeling of the slab beneath Japan
[1] The tomographic P wave model for the Japan subduction zone derived by Zhao et al. (1994) has two very striking features: a slab about 90 km thick with P wave velocities 3– 6% higher than the surrounding mantle and a mantle wedge with 6% low-velocity anomalies. We study three-component seismograms from more than 600 Hi-net stations produced by two earthquakes which occurred in the downgoing ...
متن کاملEarthquake Mechanisms at the Head of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Southern Kanto District, Japan
An analysis has been made of the rupture mechanism of two earthquakes which occurred in the vicinity of the oblique collision beneath the tip of the descending Philippine Sea plate and the Pacific plate beneath Chiba, Japan. The M=6.5 1956 Chiba earthquake occurred in a dense nest of seismicity at a depth of between 70 and 80km beneath Chiba city, and may represent deformation at the tip of the...
متن کاملOblique incidence of semi-guided waves on rectangular slab waveguide discontinuities: A vectorial QUEP solver
The incidence of thin-film-guided, in-plane unguided waves at oblique angles on straight discontinuities of dielectric slab waveguides, an early problem of integrated optics, is being reconsidered. The 3-D frequency domain Maxwell equations reduce to a parametrized inhomogeneous vectorial problem on a 2-D computational domain, with transparent-influx boundary conditions. We propose a rigorous v...
متن کاملVariations of P wave speeds in the mantle transition zone beneath the northern Philippine Sea
Using waveforms and travel times from deep earthquakes, weconstructed 16 seismic profiles, each of which constrains theradial variation i Vp over a small area beneath e northern Philippine Sea. Taken together, the azimuthal coverage of these profiles also places tight bounds on the lateral extent of a region of anomalously high Vp (up to 3% faster than average Earth models) originally suggested...
