Abstract
ABSTRACT Wave propagation through a nonmagnetic achiral/chiral (ACC) interface (en route to chiral/achiral (CAC) interfaces and resonant slabs) is investigated in-depth using amplitude Fresnel coefficients (FCs). A p-polarized plane wave at the interface is tracked for rarer-to-denser configuration, followed by incidence at a CAC interface under stand-alone and ACC source interface conditions. Finally, a model involving a low-loss tangent chiral dielectric is examined by investigating the corresponding reflection and transmission behaviour. Detailed understanding of the (anomalous or normal) occurrence of total internal reflection (TIR), inverse total internal reflection (ITIR), evanescence, – and – based envelope decay and propagation across the modes in the longitudinal and transverse directions. A few sample simulations involving chiral slab resonators with p-polarization incidence are also presented. In ongoing follow-up work, dual lossy interfaces combined to create chiral resonators and arrays (in the thick or thin film regimes) will be investigated building upon the results presented here.
期刊介绍:
The journal (under its former title Optica Acta) was founded in 1953 - some years before the advent of the laser - as an international journal of optics. Since then optical research has changed greatly; fresh areas of inquiry have been explored, different techniques have been employed and the range of application has greatly increased. The journal has continued to reflect these advances as part of its steadily widening scope.
Journal of Modern Optics aims to publish original and timely contributions to optical knowledge from educational institutions, government establishments and industrial R&D groups world-wide. The whole field of classical and quantum optics is covered. Papers may deal with the applications of fundamentals of modern optics, considering both experimental and theoretical aspects of contemporary research. In addition to regular papers, there are topical and tutorial reviews, and special issues on highlighted areas.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
General topics covered include:
• Optical and photonic materials (inc. metamaterials)
• Plasmonics and nanophotonics
• Quantum optics (inc. quantum information)
• Optical instrumentation and technology (inc. detectors, metrology, sensors, lasers)
• Coherence, propagation, polarization and manipulation (classical optics)
• Scattering and holography (diffractive optics)
• Optical fibres and optical communications (inc. integrated optics, amplifiers)
• Vision science and applications
• Medical and biomedical optics
• Nonlinear and ultrafast optics (inc. harmonic generation, multiphoton spectroscopy)
• Imaging and Image processing
