Hi everyone,
Light has a dual nature ; wave and particle. Particle part can be explained using Quantum approaches while the wave nature is described by Maxwell Equations. I am interested in light - matter interactions from wave approach which is also my thesis subject. (also I would like to hear people talk about Quantum approach).
Since light can be assumed as a PHz wave (visible spectrum) it will consist of corresponding wavelength magnetic and electric field oscillations. When a plasmonic based optical antenna is implemented, it will make analog oscillations at PHz frequencies. Currently (practically) we (mankind) can generate coherent light applying electric field to various materials (YAG etc) and filtering out the (beam shaping, polarizing etc) most part to get a true coherence.
When an optical antenna is implemented and operating, depending on the frequency and power characteristics it is expected to radiate visible light in it's radiation pattern. My curiosity is that will we (human eye) experience it as a common light source, or will there be any difference ?
Thanks
