| Abstract | |
Due to the recent interest in studying propagation of light through triangular air gaps, we calculate, by using the analogy between optics and quantum mechanics and the multiple step technique, the transmissivity through a triangular air gap surrounded by an homogeneous dielectric medium. The new formula is then compared with the formula used in the literature. Starting from the qualitative and quantitative differences between these formulas, we propose optical experiments to test our theoretical results. (AU) | |
