Optical fibers and waveguides use this effect to transmit information over large distances.
This magnitude of the phase shift produced by this effect depends on whether the input is in a TE or a TM mode. That phase shift produced by this effect can used to produce a circularly polarized wave without the use of a birefringent material by the Fresnel rhomb. This effect produces an exponentially decaying electric field which can cause energy transfer between two media via optical tunneling as an evanescent wave is converted to a propagating wave. This effect occurs when the incident angle is greater than or equal to the inverse sine of the ratio of the smaller to the larger index of refraction. Optical fibers and waveguides use this effect to transmit information over large distances. For 10 points, name this effect that occurs when light incident upon an interface beyond the critical angle has zero transmission across the interface.
