1. Week 10 – More E&M theory, attenuation, color

4. Dispersion model for Dielectric Dispersion-model.xmcd Resonant frequencies at 10 12 and 5*10 12 radians/sec damping frequencies at 10 12 /10 and 5*10 12 /10 radians/sec Oscillator strengths equal for both.

5. Dispersion model for Dielectric Dispersion-model.xmcd damping frequencies at 10 12 /10 and 5*10 12 /10 radians/sec How does refractive index change with damping frequency? damping frequencies at 10 12 /2 and 5*10 12 /10 radians/sec

6. Dispersion model for Dielectric Dispersion-model.xmcd Equal oscillator strengths How does refractive index change with oscillator strength? Oscillator strength of high frequency 3 times low frequency

7. Dispersion model for Metal Metal-Dispersion-model.xmcd Note: for Electromagnetic frequencies below plasma frequencies, And imaginary refractive index LARGE. For frequencies above plasma frequency, And real refractive index approaches UNITY. Plasma frequency set to be 10 12 radians/sec

8. Negative Refractive Index Materials Snell’s Law with negative refractive index… so called ‘Left Handed Materials’ ‘Cloaking’ devices

9. Focusing and Absorbing example You can also design metamaterials which are perfect absorbing material (in a spectral range) …. Good for stealth technology. Energy from radar absorbed rather than reflected.

10. Negative Refractive Index Materials Time Averaged Poynting Vector is ANTIPARALLEL to phase velocity. E, B, and k follow a LEFT HANDED rule E B k Right-handed ‘NORMAL’ wave Negative Refactive Index wave E B k

11. What do metamaterials look like? Microwave range – combination of metallic split rings (for magnetic permeability control) and metallic lines (for permittivity E field controll) Size of individual structures SMALLER than wavelength of electromagnetic radiation

12. Subwavelength Structures – Photonic Crystal Pillars of GaAs Light in Light out wavelength

13. Other methods of ‘cloaking’

14. Color from Scattering Opal structures – (interference from scattered light from small structures)

15. Primary Colors Red Green Blue - RGB What is this due to? Primary color set NOT unique. Typically use RGB since these are the phosphors used to generate colors in TV sets/ monitors. RGB also correspond (roughly) to the photoreceptors in the human eye James Clerk Maxwell

16. ADDITIVE combinations of RGB

17. Human Detection of Light Two types of color receptors in the human eye – Rods (best for dim light) – Cones (best for bright light) Normalized responsivity spectra of human cone cells, S (short), M (medium), and L (long) types Wavelength (nm) Responsivity Rod sensitivity compared to Cones

18. SUBTRACTIVE combinations (ie. Transmission) STARTING with WHITE light, REMOVE the blue color (by absorbing blue) and the resulting color appears as yellow (combination of Red and Green)

19. Additive vs Subtractive Colors RGBcyancyan, magenta and yellow (CMY)magentayellow Complimentary colors – Absence (subtraction or absorption) of green light from ‘white’ light gives purple (magenta). Eg. Amount of printed magenta ink determines how much green light is absorbed (not reflected) from page

20. Transmission colors Overall transmission is the MULTIPLICATION or product of individual multiplications
