Etude théorique des milieux à gradient d'indice

Abstract

Gradient index optics studies the propagation of light in inhomogeneous (gradient index) media such as optical fibers, lenses and the atmosphere. It is also concerned with the realization of the components in the refractive index depends on the position, that is to say the coordinates of space. It is in this context that fits the goal of this subject where we set out to study the properties of gradient index media such as optical fibers, GRIN lenses and the mirage phenomenon. We used geometric optics equations and we also talked about applications of GRIN components as well as manufacturing methods.
