The Surface response around a sharply resonant surface polariton mode is simply a Lorentzian

J. C. de Aquino Carvalho, D. Bloch

At the planar interface between a material and vacuum, the complex surface response S(omega)=[eps(omega) 1]/[eps(omega)+1], with eps(omega) the relative complex dielectric permitti…

Search for deviations from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a gas at an interface

Petko Todorov, João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Isabelle Maurin +2

The isotropic Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) velocity distribution is the accepted standard for a gas at thermal equilibrium, with the Doppler width considered to deliver a very precise m…

Testing the limits of the Maxwell distribution of velocities for atoms flying nearly parallel to the walls of a thin cell

Petko Todorov, daniel Bloch

For a gas at thermal equilibrium, it is usually assumed that the velocity distribution follows an isotropic 3-dimensional Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) law. This assumption classically i…

Backward-emitted sub-Doppler fluorescence from an optically thick atomic vapor

João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Athanasios Laliotis, Martine Chevrollier +2

Literature mentions only incidentally a sub-Doppler contribution in the excitation spectrum of the backward fluorescence of a dense vapor. This contribution is here investigated on…

Optics of an opal modeled with a stratified effective index and the effect of the interface

Isabelle Maurin, Elias Moufarej, Athanasios Laliotis +1

Reflection and transmission for an artificial opal are described through a model of stratified medium based upon a one-dimensional variation of an effective index. The model is not…

Resonant infiltration of an opal: reflection lineshape and contribution from in-depth regions

Isabelle Maurin, Daniel Bloch

We analyze the resonant variation of the optical reflection on an infiltrated artificial opal made of transparent nanospheres. The resonant infiltration is considered as a perturba…
