Interferometry of hyper-Rayleigh scattering by inhomogeneous thin films.

چکیده
The use of specific symmetry properties of optical second-harmonic generation (the s, s-exclusion rule) has allowed us to observe high-contrast hyper-Rayleigh interference patterns in completely diffuse light, an effect that has no analog in the case of linear (Rayleigh) scattering.

متن کاملA method for calculating the complex refractive index of inhomogeneous thin films
We calculate the complex refractive index of inhomogeneous thin films using the transfer matrix method and reflection/transmission measurements. To this end we have developed a model for both the 3D distribution of inhomogeneities inside thin films and for light propagation through the inhomogeneities. The model involves splitting the light into contributions from the homogeneous section of the...
متن کاملElastic constants of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films by surface Brillouin scattering
The elastic constants of tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C! and hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C:H! thin films were determined nondestructively by surface Brillouin scattering. Besides the usual Rayleigh surface mode, we also observe a new pseudosurface acoustic mode of longitudinal polarization, which is a modified version of the longitudinal guided mode usually found in slow-o...
متن کاملThe influence of void space on antireflection coatings of silica nanoparticle self-assembled films
This study investigates the deposition by ionic self-assembly of alternating silica nanoparticle and poly allyamine hydrochloride layers with the goal to create a single-material antireflection coating. The condition that the optical thickness of the film be equal to /4 can be satisfied by depositing the requisite number of bilayers to obtain minimum reflectivity at the chosen wavelength. The s...
