Monochromatic

Bragg scattering Coherent elastic scattering of monochromatic neutrons by a set of crystal planes. 

X-ray spectrometer An apparatus used in the X-ray study of crystals in which a fine beam of monochromatic X-rays impinges at a measured angle on the face of a crystal mounted in its path, and in which the intensity of the X-rays diffracted in various directions by the crystal is measured with an ionization chamber mounted on an arm of the spectrometer table, or is recorded photographically. 

A much better way would be to use phase contrast, rather than attenuation contrast, since the phase change, due to changes in index of refraction, can be up to 1000 times larger than the change in amplitude. However, phase contrast techniques require the disposal of monochromatic X-ray sources, such as synchrotrons, combined with special optics, such as double crystal monochromatics and interferometers [2]. Recently [3] it has been shown that one can also obtain phase contrast by using a polychromatic X-ray source provided the source size and detector resolution are small enough to maintain sufficient spatial coherence. 

Let us consider the scheme showed in Fig. I to calculate the field scattered by a rough cylindrical surface (i.e. a wire). The wire is illuminated by a monochromatic, linearly polarized plane wave at an angle of incidence a with its axis of symmetry. The surface is described, in a system fixed to the wire, by p = h (cylindrical coordinates. We shall denote the incident wave vector lying on the x-z plane as kj and the emergent wave vector simply as k. 

In ellipsometry monochromatic light such as from a He-Ne laser, is passed through a polarizer, rotated by passing through a compensator before it impinges on the interface to be studied [142]. The reflected beam will be elliptically polarized and is measured by a polarization analyzer. In null ellipsometry, the polarizer, compensator, and analyzer are rotated to produce maximum extinction. The phase shift between the parallel and perpendicular components A and the ratio of the amplitudes of these components, tan are related to the polarizer and analyzer angles p and a, respectively. The changes in A and when a film is present can be related in an implicit form to the complex index of refraction and thickness of the film.

We now add die field back into the Hamiltonian, and examine the simplest case of a two-level system coupled to coherent, monochromatic radiation. This material is included in many textbooks (e.g. [6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11]). The system is described by a Hamiltonian having only two eigenstates, i and with energies = and Define coq = - co. The most general wavefunction for this system may be written as...

Such electronic excitation processes can be made very fast with sufficiently intense laser fields. For example, if one considers monochromatic excitation with a wavenumber in the UV region (60 000 cm ) and a coupling strength / he 4000 (e.g. 1 Debye in equation (A3.13.59), / 50 TW cm ),...

Continuous wave (CW) lasers such as Ar and He-Ne are employed in conmionplace Raman spectrometers. However laser sources for Raman spectroscopy now extend from the edge of the vacuum UV to the near infrared. Lasers serve as an energetic source which at the same hme can be highly monochromatic, thus effectively supplying the single excitation frequency, v. The beams have a small diameter which may be... 

Here we consider the response of the system to a monochromatic pump beam at a frequency oi. 

A strong point of EELS is that it detects losses in a very broad energy range, which comprises the entire infrared regime and extends even to electronic transitions at several electron volts. EELS spectrometers have to satisfy a number of stringent requirements. First, the primary electrons should be monochromatic. Second,...
