Announcements 1/30/12 • Prayer • Equation sheet for exam
Reading Quiz • The quantity the book calls Fs (see note below) is the: • coefficient of Fabry-Perot • coefficient of finesse • coefficient of Fresnel • coefficient of fringes • coefficient of Fred Note: The “s” label stands for s-polarization. Since an identical equation holds true for p-polarization, I will just call this quantity F)
The Fabry-Perot equation (my name for Eqn 4.15)
Reading Quiz • In the book’s example of frustrated total internal reflection, the books picture involves two: • mirrors • rectangular blocks • triangular prisms
Reading Quiz • As the separation between the two triangular prisms becomes much smaller than a wavelength, the transmission T will approach: • 0 • ½ • 1
