In physics, total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon in which waves arriving at the interface (boundary) from one medium to another (e.g., from...

A total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM) is a type of microscope with which a thin region of a specimen, usually less than 200 nanometers...

Total internal reflection microscopy is a specialized optical imaging technique for object tracking and detection utilizing the light scattered from an...

to total internal reflection. Total internal reflection describes the fact that radiation (e.g. visible light) can, at certain angles, be totally reflected...

evanescent waves are formed when waves traveling in a medium undergo total internal reflection at its boundary because they strike it at an angle greater than...

light is reflected and Rs = Rp = 1. This phenomenon, known as total internal reflection, occurs at incidence angles for which Snell's law predicts that...

and obey the properties behind constructive interference and total internal reflection. When light of the resonant wavelength is passed through the loop...

The remaining rays are trapped in the glass by a process called total internal reflection. They are incident on the glass-air interface at an angle above...

equations for working out the intensity of the resulting rays. Total internal reflection is indicated by a negative radicand in the equation for cos ⁡...

an image from the lens to the eyepiece Fiber-optic cables use total internal reflection to carry information. When light travels from one medium to another...

of refraction. Light is kept in the core by the phenomenon of total internal reflection which causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Fibers that support...

way impedance mismatch in an electric circuit causes reflection of signals. Total internal reflection of light from a denser medium occurs if the angle of...

when reaching the interface, as well as the critical angle for total internal reflection, their intensity (Fresnel equations) and Brewster's angle. The...

liquid state without further preparation. ATR uses a property of total internal reflection resulting in an evanescent wave. A beam of infrared light is passed...

and (by allowing the reflection coefficient to be complex) accounted for the change in polarization due to total internal reflection, as exploited in the...

induce total internal reflection within the prism. Although the beam of light is not propagated through the surface of the refractive prism under total internal...

Specular reflection, or regular reflection, is the mirror-like reflection of waves, such as light, from a surface. The law of reflection states that a...

by means of two total internal reflections. If the incident beam is linearly polarized at 45° to the plane of incidence and reflection, the emerging beam...

light enters the large rectangular face of the prism, undergoes total internal reflection twice from the sloped faces, and exits again through the large...

Abbe–Koenig prism, which uses total internal reflection on all reflective surfaces. The net effect of the six reflections (two reflections are on roof plains) is...

light on the upper surface of the guiding core is provided by the total internal reflection with air, while the confinement on the lower surface is provided...

window will either be completely dark or show a reflection of underwater objects by total internal reflection. Underwater photographers sometimes compose...

right-angle prism or mirror would. The reflections inside the prism are not caused by total internal reflection, since the beams are incident at an angle...

refraction and reflection) form of the lens, entirely invented by Fresnel, has outer prismatic elements that use total internal reflection as well as refraction...

It is made in such a way that it eliminates one of the rays by total internal reflection, i.e. the ordinary ray is eliminated and only the extraordinary...

crystals, and phase-separated polymers and RNA/protein condensates. Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) is a microscopy approach that is only sensitive...

surface 1. If the roof faces are uncoated, the mechanism of reflection is Total Internal Reflection (TIR). In TIR, light polarized in the plane of incidence...

the reflecting layer for one very good reason; it would require total internal reflection, which in turn would require that the speed of light in the ionosphere...

to temporarily defeat total internal reflection so that light may be coupled into or out of a fiber.) Further reduced reflection could in theory be made...
