1 Constructive vs. destructive interference; Coherent vs. incoherent interference Waves that combine in phase add up to relatively high irradiance. = Constructive interference (coherent) Waves that combine 180 out of phase cancel out and yield zero irradiance. = Destructive interference (coherent) Waves that combine with lots of different phases nearly cancel out and yield very low irradiance. = Incoherent addition Source: Tribino, Georgia Tech
2 Interfering many waves: in phase, out of phase, or with random phase Im If we plot the complex amplitudes: Re Waves adding exactly in phase (coherent constructive addition) Waves adding exactly out of phase, adding to zero (coherent destructive addition) Waves adding with random phase, partially canceling (incoherent addition)
3 The Irradiance (intensity) of a light wave! The irradiance of a light wave is proportional to the square of the electric field: or: I = 1 2 cε E! ~ 0 2 where: " 2 E! 0 = E! E * + E 0x 0x! E *! 0 y + E 0 y! E *! 0z 0z! This formula only works when the wave is of the form:! E! r,t $ % ( ) = Re "! E0 exp i! k! r ω t ( ) & '
4 The relative phases are the key. The irradiance (or intensity) of the sum of two waves is: I = I 1 + I 2 + cε Re { * E! 1 E }! 2 E 1 and E 2 are complex amplitudes. ~ ~ If we write the amplitudes in terms of their intensities, I i, and absolute phases, θ i, E! i I i exp[ iθ i ] Im A E! i θ i Re I = I + I + 2 I I Re exp[ i( θ θ )] { } Im Imagine adding many such fields. In coherent interference, the θ i θ j will all be known. In incoherent interference, the θ i θ j will all be random. 0 I + I 1 2 I 2 II 1 2 θ 1 θ 2 Re
5 Adding many fields with random phases We find: E! total = [ E! 1 + E! E! N ] exp[i( k " r " ω t)] I total = I 1 + I I N + cε Re E E *! 1 + E 2! E *! E 3! E *! N 1 N! { } I 1, I 2, I n are the irradiances of the various beamlets. They re all positive real numbers and they add. E i E j * are cross terms, which have the phase factors: exp[i(θ i -θ j )]. When the θ s are random, they cancel out! I total = I 1 + I I n The intensities simply add! Two 20W light bulbs yield 40W. All the relative phases I 1 +I 2 + +I N Im Re exp[ i( θ θ )] exp[ i( θ θ )] i j k l
6 Newton's Rings Get constructive interference when an integral number of half wavelengths occur between the two surfaces (that is, when an integral number of full wavelengths occur between the path of the transmitted beam and the twice reflected beam). L You see the color λ when constructive interference occurs. You only see bold colors when m = 1 (possibly 2). Otherwise the variation with λ is too fast for the eye to resolve. This effect also causes the colors in bubbles and oil films on puddles.

8 Anti-reflection Coatings Notice that the center of the round glass plate looks like it s missing. It s not! There s an anti-reflection coating there (on both the front and back of the glass). Such coatings have been common on photography lenses and are now common on eyeglasses. Even my new watch is ARcoated!
9 The irradiance when combining a beam with a delayed replica of itself has fringes. The irradiance is given by: I = I 1 + cε Re { * E! 1 E! 2 }+ I 2 Suppose the two beams are E 0 exp(iωt) and E 0 exp[iω(t-τ)], that is, a beam and itself delayed by some time τ : I = 2I 0 + cε Re { E! 0 exp[iωt] E *! 0 exp[ iω(t τ )]} { } = 2I 0 + cε Re! E 0 2 exp[iωτ ] = 2I 0 + cε! E 0 2 cos[ωτ ] Dark fringe I Bright fringe I = 2I 0 + 2I 0 cos[ωτ ] τ
10 Varying the delay on purpose Simply moving a mirror can vary the delay of a beam by many wavelengths.! Input! beam!e(t) Translation stage! Output! beam! E(t τ) Moving a mirror backward by a distance L yields a delay of:! τ = 2 L /c Do not forget the factor of 2!! Light must travel the extra distance! to the mirror and back!! ωτ = 2 ωl/ c = 2kL Since light travels 300 µm per ps, 300 µm of mirror displacement yields a delay of 2 ps. Such delays can come about naturally, too.!
11 The Michelson Interferometer Input! beam! The Michelson Interferometer splits a beam into two and then recombines them at the same beam splitter. Suppose the input beam is a plane wave: Beam-! splitter! Delay! * [ ] [ ] { } I = I + I + cε Re E exp i( ωt kz 2 kl) E exp i( ωt kz 2 kl ) out [ ] { k L } { } = I + I + 2I Re exp 2 ik( L L ) since I I = I = ( cε / 2) E = 2I 1+ cos( Δ ) where: ΔL = 2(L 2 L 1 ) Dark fringe L 2 I L 1 Output! beam! Bright fringe 2 Fringes (in delay): ΔL = 2(L 2 L 1 )
12 The Michelson Interferometer The most obvious application of the Michelson Interferometer is to measure the wavelength of monochromatic light. L 2 Beam-! splitter! { } { π λ } I = 2I 1+ cos( kδ L) = 2I 1+ cos(2 ΔL/ ) out Fringes (in delay) I λ Input! beam! L 1 Delay! Output! beam! ΔL = 2(L 2 L 1 )
13 Crossed Beams * [ ω θ θ] [ ω θ + θ] { E } 0 i t kz kx E0 i t kz kx Re exp ( cos sin exp ( cos sin! k! + = k cosθ ẑ + k sinθ ˆx k = k cosθ ẑ k sinθ ˆx! k +! r = k cosθ z + k sinθ x! k! r = k cosθ z k sinθ x I = 2I 0 + cε Re{ E 0 exp[i(ωt k! + r! )]E * 0 exp[ i(ωt k! r! )]} Cross term is proportional to: 0 { 2 E [ ]} 0 ikx θ Re exp 2 sin E 2 Fringe spacing:! r = xˆx + yŷ + zẑ cos(2kxsin θ) Λ= 2 π /(2k sin θ) = λ/(2sin θ) x θ r k + r k Fringes (in position) I z x
14 Irradiance vs. position for crossed beams Fringes occur where the beams overlap in space and time.
15 Big angle: small fringes. Small angle: big fringes. The fringe spacing, Λ: Large angle: Λ=λ/(2sin θ) As the angle decreases to zero, the fringes become larger and larger, until finally, at θ = 0, the intensity pattern becomes constant. Small angle:
16 You can't see the spatial fringes unless the beam angle is very small! The fringe spacing is: Λ=λ/(2sin θ) Λ = 0.1 mm is about the minimum fringe spacing you can see: θ sin θ = λ/(2 Λ) θ 0.5 µ m/ 200µ m 1/ 400 rad = 0.15 o
17 The Michelson Interferometer and Spatial Fringes Suppose we misalign the mirrors so the beams cross at an angle when they recombine at the beam splitter. And we won't scan the delay. x z Beam-! splitter! Input! beam! Fringes If the input beam is a plane wave, the cross term becomes: [ ω θ θ] * [ ω θ + θ] [ ikx θ ] { E } 0 i t kz kx E0 i t kz kx Re{ exp 2 sin } Re exp ( cos sin exp ( cos sin cos(2kx sin θ ) Fringes (in position) I Crossing beams maps delay onto position. x
18 The Michelson Interferometer and Spatial Fringes Suppose we change one arm s path length. * [ ω θ θ + 2kd ] [ ω θ + θ] [ ikx θ kd ] { E } 0 i t kz kx E0 i t kz kx Re{ exp 2 sin + 2 } Re exp ( cos sin exp ( cos sin cos(2kx sinθ + 2 kd) The fringes will shift in phase by 2kd. x z Beam-! splitter! Input! beam! Fringes (in position) I Fringes x
19 The Unbalanced Michelson Interferometer Now, suppose an object is placed in one arm. In addition to the usual spatial factor, one beam will have a spatially varying phase, exp[2iφ(x,y)]. Now the cross term becomes: Re{ exp[2iφ(x,y)] exp[-2ikx sinθ] } Misalign mirrors, so beams cross at an angle. Beam-! splitter! Input! beam! θ x z Place an object in this path exp[iφ(x,y)] Distorted fringes (in position) I out (x) x
20 The Unbalanced Michelson Interferometer can sensitively measure phase vs. position. Spatial fringes distorted by a soldering iron tip in one path Placing an object in one arm of a misaligned Michelson interferometer will distort the spatial fringes. Input! beam! θ Beam-! splitter! Phase variations of a small fraction of a wavelength can be measured.
21 Technical point about Michelson interferometers: Input! the compensator beam! Beam-! plate splitter! Output! beam! So a compensator plate (identical to the beam splitter) is usually added to equalize the path length through glass. If reflection occurs off the front surface of beam splitter, the transmitted beam passes through beam splitter three times; the reflected beam passes through only once.
22 The Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Object Beam-! splitter! Output beam Input! beam! Beam-! splitter! The Mach-Zehnder interferometer is usually operated misaligned and with something of interest in one arm.
23 Mach-Zehnder Interferogram Nothing in either path Plasma in one path
24 Photonic crystals use interference to guide light sometimes around corners! Borel, et al., Opt. Expr. 12, 1996 (2004) Yellow indicates peak field regions. Augustin, et al., Opt. Expr., 11, 3284, Interference controls the path of light. Constructive interference occurs along the desired path.
25 Other applications of interferometers To frequency filter a beam (this is often done inside a laser). Money is now coated with interferometric inks to help foil counterfeiters. Notice the shade of the 20, which is shown from two different angles.
26 Scattering When a wave encounters a small object, it not only reemits the wave in the forward direction, but it also re-emits the wave in all other directions. This is called scattering. Light source Molecule Scattering is everywhere. All molecules scatter light. Surfaces scatter light. Scattering causes milk and clouds to be white and water to be blue. It is the basis of nearly all optical phenomena. Scattering can be coherent or incoherent.
27 Spherical waves A spherical wave is also a solution to Maxwell's equations and is a good model for the light scattered by a molecule. Note that k and r are not vectors here! E( r!,t) ( E 0 / r)re{exp[i(kr ω t)]} where k is a scalar, and r is the radial magnitude. A spherical wave has spherical wave-fronts. Unlike a plane wave, whose amplitude remains constant as it propagates, a spherical wave weakens. Its irradiance goes as 1/r 2.
28 Scattered spherical waves often combine to form plane waves. A plane wave impinging on a surface (that is, lots of very small closely spaced scatterers!) will produce a reflected plane wave because all the spherical wavelets interfere constructively along a flat surface.
29 To determine interference in a given situation, we compute phase delays. Because the phase is constant along a wave-front, we compute the phase delay from one wavefront to another potential wave-front. Wave-fronts Scatterer L 1 L 2 L 3 L 4 φ = kl i Potential wave-front i
30 Coherent constructive scattering: Reflection from a smooth surface when angle of incidence equals angle of reflection A beam can only remain a plane wave if there s a direction for which coherent constructive interference occurs. The wave-fronts are perpendicular to the k-vectors. θ i θ r Consider the different phase delays for different paths. Coherent constructive interference occurs for a reflected beam if the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection: θ i = θ r.
31 Coherent destructive scattering: Reflection from a smooth surface when the angle of incidence is not the angle of reflection Imagine that the reflection angle is too big. The symmetry is now gone, and the phases are now all different. φ = ka sin(θ too big ) θ i θ too big φ = ka sin(θ i ) a Potential wave front Coherent destructive interference occurs for a reflected beam direction if the angle of incidence the angle of reflection: θ i θ r.
32 Incoherent scattering: reflection from a rough surface No matter which direction we look at it, each scattered wave from a rough surface has a different phase. So scattering is incoherent, and we ll see weak light in all directions. This is why rough surfaces look different from smooth surfaces and mirrors.
