“…The theory of transmission through birefringent media is well developed and the transmission through a crystal at an oblique angle can be derived by exact or approximate means ( [19], [20], [28], [29]). When a collimated beam of light enters a birefringent medium at an oblique angle, the transmitted field consists of two beams that propagate in two distinct directions.…”

The design, alignment, calibration, and field deployment of a solid-state lightning detector is described. The primary sensing component of the detector is a potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) electro-optic crystal that is attached in series to a fiat plate aluminum antenna; the antenna is exposed to the ambient thundercloud electric field. A semiconductor laser diode (2 = 685 nm), polarizing optics, and the crystal are arranged in a Pockels cell configuration.Lightning-caused electric field changes are related to small changes in the transmission of laser light through the optical cell. Several hundred lightning electric field change excursions were recorded during five thunderstorms that occurred in the summer of 1998 at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in northern Alabama.

Various matrix representations are used to analyze the propagation of electromagnetic waves through stratified (layered) media or cascaded circuit networks. These include ABCD matrices, scattering matrices, impedance matrices and hybrid matrices. A less known network representation is the wave matrix. In this work, a brief review of wave matrices is presented, and their relation to other network representations derived. Wave matrices are found for common interfaces such as boundaries between dielectric media, dielectric slabs, as well as electric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric sheet boundaries (generalized sheet transition conditions). These results are then used to develop an analytical synthesis approach for cascaded metasurfaces: metasurfaces consisting of a cascade of sheets separated by dielectric spacers. This is in contrast to earlier works which relied on numerical solvers or optimization methods to design such structures. A few design examples are presented to demonstrate the utility of the synthesis approach.

“…Such films show lower density than that of the bulk form, and have several potential applications in catalytic surfaces [1,2], micro-sensor elements [3][4][5], low dielectric materials [6], etc. The theories of the electromagnetic wave propagation in STF have been well established [7][8][9][10]. With the help of state of the art technology, the nanostructure of the GLAD films can be fabricated in different forms, from the simple microstructures, i.e., oblique column, zigzag, helix [11][12][13], to exotic nanostructures, i.e., polygonal spirals, superhelices, etc.…”

In this study a new design concept of the Fabry-Perot filter, constructed with an anisotropic space layer and a couple of isotropic mirrors, was proposed based on the Maxwell equations and the characteristic matrix method. The single-and double-cavity Fabry-Perot filters were designed, and their optical properties were investigated with a developed software package. In addition, the dependence of the transmittance and phase shift for two orthogonal polarization states on the column angle of the anisotropic space layer and the incidence angle were discussed. We demonstrated that the polarization state of electromagnetic waves and phase shifts can be modulated by exploiting an anisotropic space layer in a polarization F-P filter. Birefringence of the anisotropic space layer provided a sophisticated phase modulation with varied incidence angles over a broad range, resulting in a wide-angle phase shift. This new concept would be useful for designing optical components with isotropic and anisotropic materials.
