POLARIZATION

Practical analysis of a crystal of calcite, double-refraction and location of the optical axis.

WAVEGUIDES

Rectangular slabs: short analysis following the same approach of the optical fibers.

The complete set of a finite number of orthonormal modes. Its relevance for light coupling into a waveguide.

Attenuation, scattering (Rayleigh) and types of dispersion in optical waveguides: material, intermodal, waveguide dispersion. Relation between attenuation and the awakening of non-linear phenomena.
