American Telephone and Telegraph Company Coupled Wave Theory for Thick Hologram Gratings By HERWIG KOGELNIK (Manuscript received A thick May 23‚ 1969) coupled wave analysis is given of the Bragg diffraction of light by hologram gratings‚ which is analogous to Phariseau ’s treatment of acoustic gratings and to the "dynamical" theory of X-ray diffraction. The theory remains valid for large diffraction efficiencies where the incident wave is strongly depleted. It is reflection holograms

Tides slow the Earth’s rotation speed in two ways. First‚ tides slow Earth’s rotation with tidal friction (such as bottom friction or the breaking of the waves). This effect causes a very slow‚ steady change in Earth’s rotation. It causes the rotation to slow by about 2 hundred-thousandths of a second each day‚ and it adds twenty seconds to each day every million years. (Phillips). The second way that tides

On the wave model‚ the struggle to achieve basic political rights during the period from the mid-19th century until the 1920’s counts as "first wave" feminism waned between the

how the different phase velocity modes behave in the medium of interest. Shear wave propagation in “thin” organs is affected by the mechanical properties of the tissues surrounding those organs. In order to obtain the proper mechanical properties of such boundary sensitive organs‚ an analytical solution for the dispersion curves on a plate surrounded by semi-infinite solids was derived and validated.

The New Wave (French: La Nouvelle Vague) was a blanket term coined by critics for a group of French filmmakers of the late 1950s and 1960s‚ influenced by Italian Neorealism and classical Hollywood cinema.

immigration including the accelerating economy‚ the mixing of cultures and languages‚ and racist sentiments‚ such as anti-Chinese discrimination. The biggest benefit that immigration brings about is stimulating economic growth. Take the first wave of Korean immigration to the United States started in 1903 when Korean labors came to Hawaii as an example. At that time‚ Hawaiian sugar plantation owners needed labor to meet the shortage of labor resources. Labor is the key element to the development
