Optical Properties of Quasicrystals: Negative Refraction Quasicrystals‚ or crystals that display the unusual property of non-periodicity (while remaining ordered)‚ were discovered in the 1980s by Dan Shechtman. A highly controversial topic‚ Shechtman did not produce a paper describing them for over two years after their discovery. However‚ within the past 30 years‚ the scientific community has come to accept them‚ reproduce them for study‚ and even award Dan Shechtman with a Nobel Prize for their

Visual Deception Visual phenomena or what we normally call as ‘Optical Illusion’ involves visual deception. A wide range of optical illusions happen in our day to day lives‚ like seeing a rainbow after a rainy day or even while staring at clouds; In this phenomenon‚ the human brain tends to develop different pictures to interpret the shape‚ curve‚ and size of the clouds. Optical illusions are just cases of errors in judgment; they do not physically exist. Our eyes capture light from

nonlinear effects and cost. The idea of dispersion compensation using chirped fiber gratings was firstly proposed by Qulette [4] and later demonstrated experimentally by Williams et.al. [5]. A fiber Bragg grating is a reflective device composed of an optical fiber that contains a modulation of its core refractive index over a certain length. The grating reflects light propagating through the fiber when its wavelength corresponds to the modulation periodicity. In a chirped FBG‚ the periodicity of the induced

It uses C programming and the serial ports of the PCs. The ports are programmed in C. We use MAX 232 to convert RS 232 logic to TTL logic and then an optical transmitter circuit to transmit data via fiber optic cable. The optical transmitter circuit has a LED which is matched as far the cable and MAX 232 is concerned. At the receiver we have an optical receiver circuit which receives data using a photo transistor and a MAX 232 again to convert TTL logic to RS 232 for the serial port at the receiving

heat-resistant glass in 1908. In 1912‚ this product was being reused to develop the shatterproof lanterns for the railroad. Their products were first used for scientific purposes and later for consumer cook-ware products. By realizing the improvement in optical glassmaking‚ Corning had started to produce the television tubes project and it made the TV affordable to the consumers’ market during 1970s. However‚ this project considered a steep loss in profit and productivity because of the competition from
