Refractive-index-profile determinations by using Lloyd’s mirage

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A method is presented for the experimental determination of refractive-index profiles for planar media of monotonically decreasing refractive index, such as those used for optical waveguides. The technique is based on a generalization of the classical experiment of Lloyd’s mirror, involving the interference pattern formed by a point source and its mirage, i.e., its reflection in such a graded planar medium.
