- A 13.0-mW helium-neon laser emits a beam of circular cross section with a diameter of 3.10 mm. (a) Find the maximum electric field in the beam. (b) What total energy is contained in a 1.00-m length of the beam? (c) Find the momentum carried by a 1.00-m length of the beam. Step 1 We will find the reasonable size of the electric field in a beam of bright light. At the speed of light, only a small fraction of a joule is contained in a meter-length beam. The momentum of the beam is a very small fraction of a kg. m/s. Light is described by energy and momentum but possesses no mass. Step 2 We will use the equation relating the intensity of light to the wave amplitude. From the definition of intensity, we can find the energy content of the beam of light. Then the relationship between momentum, energy, and the speed of light will give us the momentum of a length of the beam. Step 3 The intensity of light I is given by the average magnitude of the Poynting vector.

- Excerpt from (Tsai & Hamblin, 2017) “Infrared (IR) is a type of electromagnetic radiation, including wavelengths between the 780 nm to 1000 μm. IR is divided into different bands: Near-Infrared (NIR, 0.78~3.0 μm), Mid-Infrared (MIR, 3.0~50.0 μm) and Far-Infrared (FIR, 50.0~1000.0 μm) as defined in standard ISO 20473:2007 Optics and photonics -- Spectral bands (Vatansever F, 2012). Several studies have reported that IR can improve the healing of skin wounds, photoprevention, relieve pain, stiffness, fatigue of rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, potentiate photodynamic therapy, treat ophthalmic, neurological, and psychiatric disorders, and stimulate the proliferation of mesenchymal and cardiac stem cells (Vatansever F, 2012), (Tsai SR, 2015) (Barolet D, 2015).Soccer players have used FIR emitting clothing (density of 225 gm−2, 88% far IR radiation emitting polyamide 66 Emana yarn (PA66) fiber, 12% Spandex, emissivity of 0.88 and power emitted of 341 W/m2 at 37°C at 5–20 μm…arrow_forwardThe photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application.
