Other Applications. The refractive index of siUcate or borosiUcate glass can be modified by the addition of cesium oxide, introduced as cesium nitrate or carbonate. Glass surfaces can be made resistant to corrosion or breakage by surface ion exchange with cesium compound melts or solutions. This process can also be used for the production of optical wave guides (61).

The ability to apply a planarizing, optically transparent, thermally stable polymer system that cures under relatively mild conditions has recently been demonstrated to have utility in the fabrication of multilayer devices such as advanced color liquid-crystal display31,32 The ability to apply this material as a dielectric or optical coating for thin-film electronics devices has also recently been demonstrated with the fabrication of an optical wave guiding device.33... 

Let us consider a multilayer structure plotted schematically in Fig. 1. It will be taken as a fundamental building block of any more complex guided-wave structure considered here. Let the optical wave propagate along the longitudinal coordinate z, and x is the transversal coordinate.

From these results, As the particular tensor component of DAD molecular crystal is expected to be very high, more than 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline(MNA)(20), it would become one of the most suitable materials of highly efficient optical device for frequency doubler by using phase matching with optical wave guide. Electro-optical properties as well may be interesting. 

For the air/water interface at 25°C, the critical angle c is 43.75°. For values of 0i > 0c, all the light is reflected to the optically dense phase. This condition is called total internal reflection. It is the key condition of optical wave guiding and thus the most fundamental condition of optical sensing.

Reinforcement of epoxy, polyester, and other resins for use in aerospace, marine, automotive and sports industries. We have previously mentioned the vibration damping capacity of Kevlar aramid fiber. Layers of woven Kevlar are used in skis for damping purposes and, of course, to reduce the weight. Kevlar is used as a protective sheath in fiber optic wave guides and to reinforce optical fiber cables because of its high tensile modulus and strength, and low electrical conductivity. 

By far the most important and simple phenomenon that is made use of in optical wave guides is refraction of light. When a ray of light propagates from one medium to another, it undergoes refraction at the interface such that the ratio of the sine of the incident angle and the sine of the refracted angle equals the inverse ratio of the relative refractive index of the two media. Thus,...
