TE wave

Dealing with the (2D+T) problem of TE wave propagation, one has to take into account some additional terms responsible for light beam diffraction in the waveguide with linear refractive index profile nfc) ...

In anisotropic materials, the electronic bonds may have different polarizabilities for different directions (you may think of different, orientation-dependent spring constants for the electronic harmonic oscillator). Remembering that only the E-vector of the light interacts with the electrons, we may use polarized light to test the polarizability of the material in different directions, lno is one of the most important electro-optic materials and we use it as an example. The common notations are shown in Figure 4.7. If the E-vector is in plane with the surface of the crystal, the wave is called a te wave. In this example, the te wave would experience the ordinary index na of LiNbOs (nG 2.20). If we rotate the polarization by 90°, the E-ve ctor will be vertical to the surface and the wave is called tm. In lno, it will experience the extraordinary index ne 2.29. Therefore these two differently polarized waves will propagate with different phase velocities v c/n. In the example of Figure 4.7, the te mode is faster than the tm mode.

Any electromagnetic wave travelling along the interface can be represented as a superposition of two independently polarized components, namely a transverse magnetic (TM) wave and a transverse electric (TE) wave. Let us choose the x-axis along the wave vector q. Then in a TM wave the electric and magnetic field vectors have components (Ex, 0, Ez) and (0, Hy, 0), respectively. A TE wave is represented by the components (0, Ey, 0) and (Hx, 0, Hz)-We shall seek the solution of Maxwell s equations corresponding to SPs in the form... 

The consideration of TE waves shows that SPs cannot exist with such a polarization (see Problem 3.6). 

However, depending on the earth resistivity and the conductor height, the admittance for the imperfectly conducting earth should be considered especially in a high-frequency region, say, above some MHz. When a transient involves a transition between TEM wave and TM/TE waves, Wise s admittance should be considered. Then, the attenuation constant differs significantly from that calculated by Equation 1.24. 

These equations are valid for TE as well as for TM waves, provided we substitute the appropriate values for g into the formulas. For TE waves one has to use g given by Eq. (5.6.5) and for TM waves by Eq. (5.6.7). By applying these equations to each boundary, 2m equations for 2w + 2 quantities (also for layer 0) are obtained. However, the arriving wave in layer m is assumed to be known and the reflected wave in layer 0 is assumed to be nonexistent therefore, all B and C can be determined, most conveniently by matrix inversion. 

One may ask what would be the optimum refractive index of a monolayer to be used as a beamsplitter To answer this question we solve Eq. (5.6.21) for different values of i for the maximum reflectivity, cos Anvd n cosfix) = — 1. Again, both TE and TM values according to Eq. (5.6.22) have been used (Fig. 5.6.5). The optimum value of i for 30° and the TE wave is just above 2 and for the TM wave about 2.8. Overall i 2.4 would be the best compromise for optimum conditions at the peak. However, it is desirable to use a larger n i if a broader wavenumber range is to be covered. For example, with = 3 one obtains double maxima in the Art curves, as shown in Fig. 5.6.6. A transparent material of refractive index 3 would be an attractive beam divider over a substantial wavenumber range unfortunately... 

In the middle and near infrared it is common to constmct beamsplitters by vacuum deposition of a thin film on transparent substrates. To analyze such a case we consider a 0.5/rm thick germanium ( = 4) layer on a potassium bromide (n = 1.5) substrate. Again, Eqs. (5.6.21) and (5.6.22) are solved for a beamsplitter at 45° the result is shown in Fig. 5.6.7. The substrate cut-off below 400 cm is omitted. Such a beamsplitter may be used between 400 and 2100 cm it shows an excellent efficiency (high 4r t) for the TM wave between 700 and 1800 cm, but considerably lower values for the TE wave over the same range. Overall, the average efficiency for unpolarized radiation is about 0.83 near 1300 cm but as high as 0.92 near 600 and 1900 cm Again, better performance may be obtained with additional layers.

Infrared absorption spectra of heteropyrans have been used mainly for the identification of functional groups. Assignments of the bands belonging to heterocyclic bond vibrations (C=C, C—S, C—Se, C—Te) have not been common. As a rule, 4W-heteropyrans exhibit maxima at higher wave numbers than 2//-isomers. Typical IR absorption maxima for heteropyrans are shown in Table X. 

Of course, the distinction between reactive- and bound-state wave functions becomes blurred when one considers very long-lived reactive resonances, of the sort considered in Section IV.B, which contain Feynman paths that loop many times around the CL Such a resonance, which will have a very narrow energy width, will behave almost like a bound-state wave function when mapped onto the double space, since e will be almost equal to Fo - The effect of the GP boundary condition would be therefore simply to shift the energies and permitted nodal structures of the resonances, as in a bound-state function. For short-lived resonances, however, Te and To will differ, since they will describe the different decay dynamics produced by the even and odd n Feynman paths separating them will therefore reveal how this dynamics is changed by the GP. The same is true for resonances which are long lived, but which are trapped in a region of space that does not encircle the Cl, so that the decay dynamics involves just a few Feynman loops around the CL... 

Lingane and Niedrach have claimed that the h-VI states of tellurium (or selenium) are not reduced at the dropping electrode under any of the conditions of then-investigation however, Norton et al. [42] showed that under a variety of conditions, samples of telluric acid prepared by several different procedures do exhibit well-defined (though irreversible) waves, suitable for the analytical determination of the element. The reduction of Te(H-VI) at the dropping electrode was found coulometri-cally to proceed to the -II state (whereas selenate, Se(-i-VI), was not reduced at the dropping electrode in any of the media reported). 

Here Tn and TE are the kinetic energy operators for the nuclei and electrons respectively, and F(r, R) is the total Coulombic energy of nuclei and electrons, r and R denote the sets of coordinates of the electrons and nuclei respectively. One seeks wave functions of the form...
