Optical transfer matrix method

It is possible to include phase transformers in scalar diffraction theory. The calculations are lengthy, however, and we refer the reader to Anan ev (1992) and Martin and Bowen (1993) for details. An alternative approach exists that is equivalent to the transfer matrix method of geometrical optics, although the results are justifiable in terms of diffraction theory (Anan ev, 1992 Martin and Bowen, 1993). The formalism is discussed, for example, in Hecht and Zajac (1979, pp. 171-175) and we will briefly outline the necessary results. 

Although the above method of calculating the reflectivity can be extended to multilayer systems with any number of discrete layers, it becomes unwieldy as soon as the number of layers involved exceeds four or five. A computationally more efficient method is offered by the use of an optical transfer matrix. Here we simply summarize the method as described by Lekner.6 For any single layer j within the multilayer... 

We first investigate the steady optical responses, i.e. the photonic bandgap structures and the reflection and transmission spectra, of our considered media to a cw probe field with the two-mode approximation method and the transfer-matrix method. Starting from the dressed susceptibility in the weak probe limit, we find that a photonic bandgap of 0.5 MHz in width can be... 

Electric fields and optical absorption in the cell were calculated using a transfer matrix method [10-12]. Much difference was not observed in the calculated electric fields in the MC LB layer at 594.1 nm and at 632.8 nm[9]. Fig. 6 shows the calculated reflectivities for the cell used in this experiment and a supposed cell without the prism and Mgp2 layer that can not excite the SPPs. As the cell without the SPP excitations exhibits large reflectivities, almost all of the incident light is not absorbed in the cell. The calculations also show that there is no dependence of the wavelengths.

The formation of molecular radical ions by electron transfer reactions between alkali metals and a wide variety of aromatic and other organic compounds in polar solvents is well established. A very large number of radical anions have been prepared by this method and extensive studies of their e.s.r. and optical spectra have been made (Bowers, 1965 Gerson, 1967 Kaiser and Kevan, 1968). In solution the electron transfer reaction will be facilitated by the subsequent solvation of the two ions (or ion pair) by the polar solvent molecules. However, we have observed that similar electron transfer reactions occur readily when alkali metal atoms are deposited on a variety of relatively non polar substances at 77°K in the rotating cryostat. In most cases the parent compound acts as the matrix, though for some radical ions an inert matrix of a non-polar hydrocarbon has been used successfully. It is perhaps surprising that the reactions occur so readily as the energy of solvation of the ions must be quite small in most of these systems as compared with that in the polar liquids. 

The Metoclopramide hydrochloride concentration was determined by the optical sensor europium doped in the sol-gel matrix. The absorption and emission spectra of Metoclopramide hydrochloride and Europium were measured in sol-gel matrix. The method depends on the enhancement of the intensity of the emission spectrum of Eu doped in sol-gel especially at 617 nm band. The mechanism depends on the energy transfer from triplet energy state of Metoclopramide hydrochloride to the excited energy state of Eu. In comparison with other spectrofluorimetric techniques, this method is simple, relatively interference free from coexisting substances and can successfully be applied to the determination of Metoclopramide hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations and in serum samples the data are summarized in Table 14.3 [53].
