Achieving Variable Phase Shift in Yellow Light

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a variable phase shift in yellow light at 580 nanometers, a technique involving voltage modulation of a phase shift device is being explored. The desired modulation frequency is around ten megahertz, with a minimum phase shift of two wavelengths. Suggestions include using a phase plate to facilitate this shift. The discussion highlights challenges faced in earlier attempts, emphasizing the need for precision in measurements. Overall, the focus remains on identifying effective systems or methods for achieving the specified phase shift.

I would like to cause a phase shift in light. I would prefer to do
so by varying the voltage to the phase shift device. Is there any existing
system or any suggestions?

We had a bit of difficulty with this one. I dropped a few decimal points or something.

Lets try this one more time. I am looking for a technique to cause a variable phase shift or delay in a yellow (580 nanometer) light beam. The modulation frequency is in the order of ten megahertz, the shift need only be a minimum of two wavelengths of the yellow light.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
