Amplitude-phase reflectance spectra of amorphous silicon-based Bragg structures

Eigenmode mediated excitation and radiation in a planar microcavity

“…As a model cavity, we used a planar MC based on hydrogenated amorphous silicon ͑a-Si: H͒ and amorphous silicon oxide ͑a-SiO x ͒ layers. [13][14][15][16] A schematic of the MC structure is shown in Fig. 10,11 Amorphous silicon MCs have been used to study the effect of photonic properties of a MC and a single DBR on erbium PL.…”

Indeterminacy of amplitude and phase variables in classical dynamical systems: The harmonic oscillator

“…There is also a widespread use of these variables in detection and analysis of experimental data. Some recent examples in observational astronomy are cosmic microwave background maps [23] and correlations in the solar cycle [24]; in nonlinear optics: ultrashort pulse two-photon absorption [25], optical amplifiers [26] and time-dependent optical signals [27]; in physical optics: interferometric noise measurements [28] and standards [29]; in scientific instruments: optical design of confocal microscopes [30], apodization of telescope pupils [31] and analysis of reflectance spectra [32].…”
