Numerical Investigation of Birefringene Effect on the Light Reflection
In the present paper, the problem of light reflection from a birefringent medium and thin film is considered. First, the analytical equations governing the propagation of a plane and harmonic electromagnetic wave in an infinite, birefringent, linear, non-dispersive, non-absorbing, and non-magnetic medium is derived from Maxwell equations. Then, using phase matching condition and boundary condit...
متن کاملWeak localization of light in superdiffusive random systems.
Lévy flights constitute a broad class of random walks that occur in many fields of research, from biology to economy and geophysics. The recent advent of Lévy glasses allows us to study Lévy flights-and the resultant superdiffusion-using light waves. This raises several questions about the influence of interference on superdiffusive transport. Superdiffusive structures have the extraordinary pr...
متن کاملExperimental observation of a fundamental length scale of waves in random media.
Waves propagating through a weakly scattering random medium show a pronounced branching of the flow accompanied by the formation of freak waves, i.e., extremely intense waves. Theory predicts that this strong fluctuation regime is accompanied by its own fundamental length scale of transport in random media, parametrically different from the mean free path or the localization length. We show num...
متن کاملRandom nanolasing in the Anderson localized regime.
The development of nanoscale optical devices for classical and quantum photonics is affected by unavoidable fabrication imperfections that often impose performance limitations. However, disorder may also enable new functionalities, for example in random lasers, where lasing relies on random multiple scattering. The applicability of random lasers has been limited due to multidirectional emission...
متن کاملCoherently amplifying random medium: Statistics of super-reflection
Light-wave propagation in a randomly scattering but uniformly and coherently amplifying optical medium is analysed for the statistics of the coefficient of reflection r(l) that may now exceed unity, hence super-reflection. Uniform coherent amplification is introduced phenomenologically through a constant negative imaginary part added to the otherwise real dielectric constant of the medium, assu...
