Fresnell transmission coefficients

The transmission coefficient T is found by using the local plane-wave description of a ray. We regard the local plane wave as part of an infinite plane-wave incident on a planar interface between unbounded media, whose refractive indices coincide with the core and cladding indices and of the waveguide, as shown in Fig. l-3(b). For the step interface, Tis identical to the Fresnel transmission coefficient for plane-wave reflection at a planar dielectric interface [6]. In the weak-guidance approximation, when s n, the transmission coefficient is independent of polarization, and is derived in Section 35-6. From Eq. (35-20) we have [7]... 

Ie is the true scattered intensity I e is the measured scattered intensity at angle 6, and Z i8o-e is at the supplementary angle. fa and fi are the Fresnel s coefficients for the fractions of light reflected at perpendicular incidence at the glass-air and glass-liquid interfaces, respectively ta and tx are the corresponding transmission coefficients. They are defined by the following equations ... 

In addition to the tensor element dependence of the sum-frequency intensity, there is also a dependence on the geometry of the experiment that manifests itself in the linear and non-linear Fresnel factors that describe the behaviour of the three light beams at the interface. Fresnel factors are the reflection and transmission coefficients for electromagnetic radiation at a boundary and depend on the frequency, polarization and incident angle of the electromagnetic waves and the indices of refraction for the media at the boundary [16,21]. 

For the case of non-normal illumination incidence at some angle 0, the Fresnel transmission and reflection coefficients are now functions of the angle of incidence as well as the polarization of the incident light they are given hy ... 

The reflectance (also called reflectivity) (R) and transmittance (T) are, respectively, given by the intensities of the reflected and transmitted radiation normalized by the intensity of the incident radiation. They are related to the Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients in the following way ... 

The Fresnel equations describe the reflection and transmission coefficients at the interface of two optical media. The polarisation of the incident Hght affects the magnitude of these coefficients. It is possible to derive expressions for the intensities of the reflected and refracted rays. These differ for the TE and TM polarisations as follows ... 

For nonabsorbing materials, the boundary conditions (1.4.7°) lead to the Fresnel formulas for the amplitude of reflection and transmission coefficients (1.4.5°) ... 

By using the elements of the M matrix, the Fresnel amplitude reflection and transmission coefficients (1.58) of the A -isotropic-phase medium are found from... 

Reflection and transmission coefficients for multiple interference antireflection layers may be calculated in the following manner. For each y-th layer, we write the expression for Fresnel amplitude reflection coefiicient r for the next m j layers located behind it. This expression features the reflection at the surface of this layer rj, its phase qr, and the amplitude reflection coefiicient of all the remaining m-j-l layers. By writing successively in the same manner the expressions for the remaining layers, we obtain a recursive system with an infinite number of solutions...

The interface and turning-point caustic are curved surfaces. They are defined by two principal radii of curvature which depend on both the core radius p and the bend radius R. Under these conditions we use the localized transmission coefficients of Section 7-14 each time a ray loses power by tunneling. When power is lost by refraction, we employ the Fresnel coefficient of Eq. (35-50) for the step profile, and assume complete power loss for the clad parabolic profile, i.e. T= 1. 

The fraction of beam power transmitted across the interface depends on the product of E, and H and is given by the Fresnel power transmission coefficient T of Eq. (35-21) with and n replaced by Uj and n o, respectively. 

Consider two semi-infinite media of refractive indices and < n , separated by the planar interface x = 0 in Fig. 35-3(a). A ray, or plane wave, is incident on the interface from the denser medium at angle 6 to the z-direction. Plane wave reflection in this situation is well-known and the power transmission coefficient of Eq. (35-11) is identical to the classical Fresnel coefficient [2]. 

The ray tubes formed by the incident and reflected rays in Fig. 35-3 (a) have the same z-directed cross-section, and, since 4 is complex, the power density in each varies as 14 p, as is clear from Table 13-2, page 292. We deduce from Eqs. (35-11) and (35-18) that the transmission coefficient is given by 1 — B/A for 0. < 0 < n/2, leading to the Fresnel coefficient... 

The exact solution for the unperturbed system can be obtained by the Parratt formalism.For a thin film sample consisting of three layers (layers j= 1 vacuum, 2 thin film, and 3 substrate), as shown in Figure 3(a), the refractive index rij of layer j isnj=l-Sj + ifSj with a dispersion Sj and an absorption pj. The Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients for each sharp interface arer j+j = + and... 

Parameters e, ( = h2) are the dielectric constants of the respective media (which may be complex for light-absorbing materials). Parameters Tp s are the Fresnel coefficients for transmission through a stratified three-medium system with the beam incident from the medium 3 side and an intermediate medium 2 of thickness (5(l0) ... 

Optical Absorption. Figure 3 compares the optical absorption spectra of undoped, Co-, Mn-, and Fe-doped BaTi03 crystals grown in air. Transmission spectra were obtained on a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 9 spectrophotometer modified for use with polarized light and were reduced to absorption coefficients by correction for Fresnel... 

The natural extension of this model is to consider a free-standing film, i.e., a thin transmitting sample not deposited on a substrate. In this case we have two interfaces (assumed to be flat) and transmission and reflection Fresnel coefficients at both interfaces (air/material and material/air). Even though it is not easy to produce such films, some examples are reported in the CP literature [13,14,26,27,32], Assuming that the medium is in vacuum (no = 2 = 1) with thickness d, it is easy to calculate the total reflectance R, and transmittance T of the sample as [21-23]... 

To describe transmission and refraction we have Introduced the transmission and reflection coefficients called t and r, respectively. Generally these are complex quantities, i.e. they eure written as ( and r, but for non-adsorbing media and Fresnel surfaces they become real, and we recall from (1.7.10.6 and 7) that... 

For most materials the reflected energy is only 5-10%, but in regions of strong absorptions the reflected intensity is greater. The data obtained appear different from normal tra(nsmission spectra, as derivative-iike bands result from the superposition of the normal extinction coefficient spectrum with the refractive index dispersion (based upon the Fresnel relationships from physics). However, the reflectance spectrum can be corrected by using the Kramers-Kronig (K-K) transformation. The corrected spectrum appears similar to the familiar transmission spectrum.
