In physics, total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon in which waves arriving at the interface (boundary) from one medium to another (e.g., from...

A total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM) is a type of microscope with which a thin region of a specimen, usually less than 200 nanometers...

to total internal reflection. Total internal reflection describes the fact that radiation (e.g. visible light) can, at certain angles, be totally reflected...

evanescent waves are formed when waves traveling in a medium undergo total internal reflection at its boundary because they strike it at an angle greater than...

Total internal reflection microscopy is a specialized optical imaging technique for object tracking and detection utilizing the light scattered from an...

light is reflected and Rs = Rp = 1. This phenomenon, known as total internal reflection, occurs at incidence angles for which Snell's law predicts that...

and obey the properties behind constructive interference and total internal reflection. When light of the resonant wavelength is passed through the loop...

The remaining rays are trapped in the glass by a process called total internal reflection. They are incident on the glass-air interface at an angle above...

of refraction. Light is kept in the core by the phenomenon of total internal reflection which causes the fiber to act as a waveguide. Fibers that support...

liquid state without further preparation. ATR uses a property of total internal reflection resulting in an evanescent wave. A beam of infrared light is passed...
