The question is: in a total reflection setup, we have an evanescent waves created in the second medium, under the separation surface. If this medium is highly adsorbing, would then affect the reflected light ? Let's say the first medium has adsorption zero, while the second is highly adsorbing...

In Italy, I can survive with a spouse and 2 little kids earning a gross of 50k eur, which means 25k net. I have not to pay for the house. Considering escaping to USA, which salary must I search? 100k dollars as a gross is enough? (optics and experimental physics field)

yes you catched the idea. no, theoretically the main factori to find a research toipic is the curiosity and the interest on it, but pratically if you are not working in the top level topics (particle physics, especially CERN CMS and so on, astonomy especially cile large aperture telescopes...

Hello I have a research permanent position. My topic is the classical optics. I do not see much future in the field. All the brilliant physicists I meet are studying some exotic nuclear reactions, or strange theoretical topics. DO you have any hint to better focus my research interest, in...
