Huygens’ principle
" In the 17th Century, Christiaan Huygens (1629–
1695) proposed what we now know as Huygens’
Principle, one of the fundamental concepts of waves
and wave optics.

Index of refraction
A property of a material that changes the
speed of light.
nα = ε r µ r
where εr is the material's relative permittivity, and µr is its
relative permeability. For a non-magnetic material, µr is very
close to 1, therefore n is approximately ε r .

Refraction: Bending light
20
Refraction: Bending light
! As light passes from one transparent medium to another, it
changes speed, and bends. How much this happens depends
on the refractive index of the mediums and the angle
between the light ray and the line perpendicular (normal) to
the surface separating the two mediums (medium/medium
interface).
! Each medium has a different refractive index. The angle
between the light ray and the normal as it leaves a medium
is called the angle of incidence. The angle between the light
ray and the normal as it enters a medium is called the angle
of refraction.

Pierre de Fermat’s principle
! 1657 – Fermat (1601-1665) proposed a
Principle of Least Time encompassing both
reflection and refraction
! “The actual path between two points taken by
a beam of light is the one that is traversed in
the least time”
25
Pierre de Fermat’s principle
! "Light, in going between two points, traverses the
route having the smallest optical path length."

Optical path length
! In an inhomogeneous medium the refractive index n(r) is a
function of the position. The optical path length along a given

Porro Prism

Porro prism
" A Porro prism, named for its inventor Ignazio Porro, is a type
of reflection prism used in optical instruments to alter the
orientation of an image.
" An image travelling through a Porro prism is rotated by 180°
and exits in the opposite direction offset from its entrance point.
Since the image is reflected twice, the handedness of the image
is unchanged.

Optical waveguide
" Many devices take advantage of the total internal reflection,
including optical waveguides (like optical fiber). A waveguide is
a length of transparent material that is surrounded by material
that has a lower index of refraction. Rays that intersect the
interface between the waveguide material and the surrounding
material at angles equal to or larger than the critical angle are
trapped in the waveguide and travel losslessly along it.
