Example text

Whereas multilayer dielectric mirrors present high reflectance in a narrow wavelength band, the total-internal-reflection mirror is a broadband component. The only limitations could come from the decrease of the refractive index of the glass as the wavelength is increased, which could move θc to a value larger than 45◦ . An interesting property of the total-internal-reflection prism is that the reflected beam is always propagating in the opposite direction with respect to the incident beam, whatever is the angle of incidence, provided that the propagation vector of the beam lies in a plane perpendicular to the prism axis (this is the plane of Fig.

9) gives: ⊥ E(ω) = dt E(t) exp(iωt). 11) where χ (ω) is given by: ⊥ χ (ω) = R(t) exp(iωt)dt. 5), it is found that the electric displacement D(r, ω), generated by a monochromatic electric field oscillating at the frequency ω, is proportional to E(r, ω): D = εo (1 + χ )E = εo εr E. 13) The dimensionless constant εr is called relative dielectric constant or relative electric permittivity. The wave propagation velocity inside the dielectric medium is: v= √ c 1 = . 14) The quantity n, called index of refraction of the medium, is given by: n= √ εr = 1 + χ.

104) where α is the prism angle and n the refractive index of the glass. What is the minimum wavelength separation δλ that can be resolved? Clearly, this depends on the minimum angular resolution. Even assuming that the incident beam is monochromatic and perfectly collimated, the output beam presents an angular spread due to diffraction. If L is the minimum size between prism size and incident beam diameter, and λo is the wavelength of the incident beam, the angular spread will be δθ ∝ λo /L. In order to resolve two different wavelengths, the difference in their deflection angles should be larger than δθ .
