| Abstract | |
We present a detailed study of the Gaussian laser propagation through a dielectric system composed by two right angle prisms. We investigate the transition between the spatial coherence limit, which exhibits wave-like properties and for which the resonance phenomenon can be seen, and the decoherence limit, which exhibits particle-like properties and for which the multiple diffusion occurs. We also analyze the tunneling at critical angles. In our numerical analysis, we shall use BK7 and Fused Silica prisms and a Gaussian He-Ne laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm and beam waists of 2 mm and 200 mu m. (AU) | |
