Motivation

edit

I want to help other learn topics that I struggled with as an undergrad/graduate and in life. Time domain based physics and in particular transient analyses, are my strongest contributions. I find it insufficient to learn about time based phenomena without the use of actual time based solutions.

If you have a query, leave a message on my talk page.

Transient analysis of a silicon (n = 3.4) Fabry–Pérot etalon at normal incidence. The upper animation is for etalon thickness chosen to give maximum transmission while the lower animation is for thickness chosen to give minimum transmission. Fabry–Pérot interferometer
False color transient for a high refractive index, dielectric slab in air. The thickness/frequencies have been selected such that red (top) and blue (bottom) experience maximum transmission, whereas the green (middle) experiences minimum transmission. Fabry–Pérot interferometer
