| The biggest mistake in classical optics | 29 Jun 2006 19:18 GMT | 12 |
We consider a glass system with tree glass plates (all having weak neglectable absorption). All of these three glass plates shall have an different refraction index, that means non of these three indexes shall be equal.

| Circularly polarized beam has torque? | 26 Jun 2006 17:52 GMT | 6 |
Given that collinear mounted cross (90 degrees) polarized yagi antennas can produce a circularly beam with proper phasing, how could torque be produced? Neither beam is producing it individually, the circularity is all due to phasing between 2 antennas that do not couple.

| Skin Depth in metals | 26 Jun 2006 12:39 GMT | 3 |
As i understand, EM waves do not penetrate the metals. Only a small portion of the energy is absorbed depending on the skin depth and rest is all reflected.So how do the antennas, which are all metallic, absorb the wave power?

| Moment of the Poynting vector is not spin once more | 22 Jun 2006 11:00 GMT | 13 |
A common opinion that a moment of the Poynting vector is spin is a common delusion due to a serious defect of the general field theory. We present a circularly polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam without an azimuth phase structure as an evidence of this. It is shown that the

| RF power dissipation and scattering in very thin metallic films | 19 Jun 2006 19:39 GMT | 3 |
Hello group, Could someone point me to a reference(s) that deal with RF interaction with very thin conducting films. By thin I mean having a thickness of the order and smaller than a skin depth.

| Inductance of a Straight Wire - Follow-up | 17 Jun 2006 00:26 GMT | 1 |
There was a recent thread about the inductance of a flat verses round wire. Here is a paper that covers the round wire very well. The method used should be able to be extended to a flat wire. The paper, and many other interesting ones, can be found at:

| X-rays for telecommunications? | 15 Jun 2006 07:56 GMT | 4 |
Has the use of x-rays for telecommuncations ever been considered? I imagine that x-ray photons would have more bandwidth than visible-spectrum photons. Other than bandwidth, are there any advantages to using x-rays instead of light. One major disadvantage, is

| "Speed of electricity" | 12 Jun 2006 07:32 GMT | 6 |
sorry for the "simple" question but I am trying to figure out what is the speed of electricity in a wire, not the speed of the electrons in the wire but rather the time required for the potential front to reach the end of a wire. I don't know if this a good example but say we have

| Avramenko's plug | 11 Jun 2006 00:37 GMT | 3 |
who can help me on this? maybe you know this device called Avramenko's plug: a simple circuit of 2 oposite diodes. At one end, the cathode of one and anode of the other joined together, in between the 2 other ends you place a charge eg a light bulb (call it side B). When injecting ...
