  2. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1] Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used to refer to optics specifically, as opposed to wave propagation in general. A medium having this common property may be termed a dispersive medium.

  3. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    This is a linear dispersion relation, in which case the waves are said to be non-dispersive. [1] That is, the phase velocity and the group velocity are the same: = = =, and thus both are equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is frequency-independent.

  4. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]

  5. Polariton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polariton

    A polariton is the result of the combination of a photon with a polar excitation in a material. The following are types of polaritons: Phonon polaritons result from coupling of an infrared photon with an optical phonon

  6. Roton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roton

    Roton dispersion relation, showing the quasiparticle energy E(p) as a function of momentum p. A quasiparticle with momentum generated in the local energy minimum is called a roton. In theoretical physics , a roton is an elementary excitation, or quasiparticle , seen in superfluid helium-4 and Bose–Einstein condensates with long-range dipolar ...

  7. Self-phase modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-phase_modulation

    [5] [6] In regions of normal dispersion, the "redder" portions of the pulse have a higher velocity than the "blue" portions, and thus the front of the pulse moves faster than the back, broadening the pulse in time. In regions of anomalous dispersion, the opposite is true, and the pulse is compressed temporally and becomes shorter. This effect ...

  8. Sellmeier equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellmeier_equation

    1.03560653×10 2 μm 2 For common optical glasses, the refractive index calculated with the three-term Sellmeier equation deviates from the actual refractive index by less than 5×10 −6 over the wavelengths' range [ 5 ] of 365 nm to 2.3 μm, which is of the order of the homogeneity of a glass sample. [ 6 ]
