4 Wave Vectors and Polarization Wave Vector k A wave vector conveys two pieces of information at the same time. First, its orientation describes the direction of the wave. It is perpendicular to the wave front. Second, its magnitude conveys the spatial period of the wave. It is divided by the spatial period of the wave (wavelength). E r E jk r exp 0 r xxˆ yyˆzzˆ position vector n k 0 k k xˆk yˆk zˆ If the frequency of the wave is known and constant, and x y z it usually is, the magnitude of the k vector conveys the Lecture 1 refractive index of the material the wave is in.

Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field relative to the direction of the wave. Linear Polarization (LP) Circular Polarization (CP) Left Hand Circular Polarization (LCP) To determine the handedness of CP, imagine watching the electric field in a plane while the wave is coming at you. Which way does it rotate? Lecture 1 Slide 1 6

7 Handedness Convention As Viewed From Source Polarization is taken as the time varying electric field view with the wave moving away from you. Primarily used in engineering and quantum physics. As Viewed From Receiver Polarization is taken as the time varying electric field view with the wave coming toward you. Primarily used in optics and physics. source RCP source RCP receiver receiver source LCP source LCP receiver receiver Lecture 1 Slide 13 Linear Polarization A wave travelling in the +z direction is said to be linearly polarized if: z E x, y, z Pe jk z P sin xˆ cos yˆ P is called the polarization vector.

9 LP x + LP y = LP 45 A linearly polarized wave can always be decomposed as the sum of two orthogonal linearly polarized waves that are in phase. Lecture 1 Slide 17 LP x + jlp y = CP A circularly polarized wave is the sum of two linearly polarized waves that are 90 out of phase. Lecture 1 Slide 18 9

10 RCP + LCP = LP A linearly polarized wave can be expressed as the sum of a LCP wave and a RCP wave. The phase between the two CP waves determines the tilt of the LP. Lecture 1 Slide 19 Why is Polarization Important? Different polarizations can behave differently in a device Orthogonal polarizations will not interfere with each other Polarization becomes critical when analyzing devices on the scale of a wavelength Focusing properties are different Reflection/transmission can be different Frequency of resonators Cutoff conditions for filters, waveguides, etc. Lecture 1 Slide 0 10

11 Poincaré Sphere The polarization of a wave can be mapped to a unique point on the Poincaré sphere. Points on opposite sides of the sphere are orthogonal. See Balanis, Chap LP RCP 90 LP 0 LP +45 LP Lecture 1 Slide 1 LCP TE and TM We use the labels TE and TM when we are describing the orientation of a linearly polarized wave relative to a device. TE/perpendicular/s the electric field is polarized perpendicular to the plane of incidence. TM/parallel/p the electric field is polarized parallel to the plane of incidence. Lecture 1 Slide 11

12 CAUTION: Another Place You Will See TE and TM Labels The labels TE and TM are also used to describe modes in homogeneous metallic waveguides. There really is no comparing TE and TM waveguide modes to TE and TM plane waves incident on a interface. It is a completely different concept.

All polarizations scatter the same. 1r t This is NOT conservation of energy because these are field amplitude quantities, not power quantities. Lecture 1 Slide 6 13

Generally, most materials have a very week magnetic response and there is no Brewster s angle for TE polarized waves. TM Polarization cos 1cos1 rtm 0 cos cos 1 1 sin 1 1 B We see that if 1 = then there is no Brewster s angle. For materials with no magnetic response, the Brewster s angle equation reduces to tan Lecture 1 n This is the most well known equation. B 1 1 n1 Slide 8 14

15 Notes on a Single Interface It is a change in impedance that causes reflections Snell s Law quantifies the angle of transmission Angle of transmission and reflection does not depend on polarization. The Fresnell equations quantify the amount of reflection and transmission Amount of reflection and transmission depends on the polarization For incident angles greater than the critical angle, a wave will be completely reflected regardless of its polarization. When a wave is incident at the Brewster s angle, a particular polarization will be completely transmitted. Lecture 1 Slide 9 Validity of Law of Reflection and Snell s Law There are no plane wave sources. Beam sources are more realistic. A beam can be decomposed into a plane wave spectrum. The Fresnel equations predict that each of the component plane wave will reflect and transmit with a different amplitude depending on its angle and polarization. This means that the amplitude profile of a beam will be modified after reflection and transmission. ref??? inc If the amplitude profile is modified, then the beam will propagate and diffract differently.??? n sin n sin 1 1 This ultimately means the reflected and transmitted beams will propagate at different angles than the law of reflection and Snell s law predict.

20 Phase, Group, and Energy Velocity Phase Velocity The phase velocity of a wave is the speed at which the phase of a single frequency wave propagates through space. It is defined in terms of the angular frequency (number of oscillations per unit time) and the wave number k (number of oscillations per unit distance). v p k Lecture

21 Derivation of Phase Velocity We start with the expression for a wave travelling in the x direction. ; sin E zt kx t kx t 0 kx t x t k x vp t k Wave moves at a speed that keeps the argument of the sine function constant. We set the argument equal to zero and rearrange the terms. This has units of distance/time, which is velocity. We derived this from the phase of the wave sin(). Lecture 1 41 Phase Refractive Index We can characterize a medium by it phase refractive index n p. This is the factor describing how much slower than the speed of light that the phase is propagating. v p c n 0 p Lecture 1 4 1

22 Phase Velocity Can Approach Infinity in a Waveguide (1 of ) A low order mode can be thought of as the sum of two plane waves at small angles relative to the longitudinal direction of the waveguide. Phase propagates slowly. Lecture 1 43 Phase Velocity Can Approach Infinity in a Waveguide ( of ) A high order mode can be thought of as the sum of two plane waves at large angles relative to the longitudinal direction of the waveguide. Phase propagates quickly. Lecture 1 44

23 Group Velocity The group velocity is the speed and direction in which the envelope of the wave s amplitude propagates. It is defined as Here, the wave appears to be very fast, but the overall package of energy propagate slowly. v g k Lecture 1 45 Group Refractive Index We can characterize a medium by it group refractive index n g. This is the factor describing how much slower than the speed of light that the envelop of the wave is propagating. v g c n 0 g Lecture

24 Phase Vs. Group Velocity By their definitions, the phase velocity applies only to a wave at a single frequency. The group velocity applies to a packet of waves covering some spectrum. The phase and group velocities are often the same, but they can be different. Lecture 1 47 Derivation of Group Velocity (1 of 7) By definition, group velocity applies to a wave composed of more than one frequency. A wave composed of two frequencies can be written as ; sin sin E zt kx 1 1t kx t Wave 1 Wave Lecture

25 Derivation of Group Velocity ( of 7) Using the following identity from trigonometry, A B AB sin Asin Bsin cos we get ; sin 1 1 sin kx tkxt kx tkxt E z t k x t k x t sin cos k k1 1 k k1 1 sin x t cos x t Lecture 1 49 Derivation of Group Velocity (3 of 7) The last equation can be written in terms of the center frequency c and the bandwidth. ; sin cos E z t k x t k x t c c k k1 k k1 kc k 1 1 c Lecture

26 Derivation of Group Velocity (4 of 7) We interpret this as a sine wave at frequency c and wave number k c that is modulated by a cosine function. ; sin cos E zt kx t k x t c c Lecture 1 51 Derivation of Group Velocity (5 of 7) We have identified the cos(kx - t) term as the envelope. How quickly does this move? It moves at a speed that keeps the argument of the cosine function constant. kx t constant Lecture 1 5 6

27 Derivation of Group Velocity (6 of 7) To derive a velocity term (dx/dt), we differentiate this equation. kx t 0 kdx dt 0 The equation can now be manipulated to derive a quantity with units of velocity. kdx dt 0 kdx dt dx dt k v dx dt k Lecture 1 53 Derivation of Group Velocity (7 of 7) We now take the limit as the deltas become very small. v g lim 0 k0 k d dk The equivalent equation in more than one dimension is v g k k k dispersion relation Lecture

28 Ordinary Materials In an ordinary material, the dispersion relation is c0 n k The phase velocity is c0 vp n The group velocity is v g d c0 dk n or c k n 0 k We see that the phase velocity and group velocity are equal. When are they not equal? Lecture 1 55 Dispersive Materials (1 of ) In a dispersive material, the refractive index n can be different at different frequencies. We differentiate the dispersion relation as follows. n c0k dn nd c dk We rearrange the terms to arrive at c0 dn d n n dk dk 0 This is group velocity, v g This is phase velocity, v p Lecture

29 Dispersive Materials ( of ) We now have an expression relating group and phase velocity. v p dn v ndk g Solving this for group velocity yields dn k dn vg vp vp1 ndk ndk k We see it is the dn/dk term that is responsible for v g v p. Any time the refractive index n is not constant, the medium is said to have dispersion and the group velocity will deviate from the phase velocity. Lecture 1 57 v p Phase and Group Refractive Indices From the previous equations we can write the phase refractive index n p and group refractive index n g as n p kc0 n g dn p np d dnp np 0 d 0 Lecture
