OPTICAL RESEARCH;
Reports outline optical research from Yerevan State University
According to recent research from Yerevan, Armenia, "Oblique
propagation of light through a planar layer of a chiral photonic
crystal (CPC) is considered. The problem is solved using
Ambartsumyan’s layer-summation method."
"Specific features of the reflection (transmission) spectra in the
presence of dielectric boundaries are studied. Apparent contradictions
of the Belyakov-Dmitrienko theory with experiments are
discussed. Possibility of the laser emission wavelength control in a
CPC layer doped with a laser dye is analyzed," wrote A.H. Gevorgyan
and colleagues, Yerevan State University.
The researchers concluded: "Characteristic features of the light
absorption at oblique incidence are investigated."
Gevorgyan and colleagues published their study in Optics and
Spectroscopy (Effects of Angle of Incidence and Polarization in the
Chiral Photonic Crystals. Optics and Spectroscopy,
2008;105(4):624-632).
