THE increasing application to various radio purposes of ultra-short electric waves of less than 10 m. in wave-length has given a new stimulus to the problem of calculating the field strength at ...

In 1967 the Russian physicist Victor Veselago predicted the existence of a material with a negative index of refraction, which he termed “left-handed.” He concluded that in the presence of such a ...

In addition to our other problems, we must also contend with transmission (with attenuation), reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. In addition to our other problems, we ...

Light scattering as the basis for size determination of many objects has been explored for a long time. It was Gustav Mie, author of the Mie Scattering Theory, who studied gold nanoparticles in ...

Devices known as photonic integrated circuits 1,2 could succeed electronic circuits in future data-storage, computation and communications technologies, because they would allow improved data ...

Most people know that light travels in a straight line unless something acts upon it to change its direction. The three most common methods of changing the direction of light are refraction, ...

When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, ...
