Spectral shift amplification

Opt Lett. 2012 Dec 1;37(23):4895-7. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.004895.

Abstract

The behavior of a limited bandwidth light wave reflected from a material interface is studied theoretically. It is shown that near the anomalous dispersion zone, if the incident center wavelength is shifted by a small amount, this shift can be amplified by about three times in the reflected light.
