Οπτικές Ιδιότητες των Υλικών -Προέρχονται από την επίδραση της Ηλεκτρομαγνητικής Ακτινοβολίας με τα Υλικά -Οπτικά φαινόμενα είναι: Απορρόφηση, διάθλαση, Εκπομπή φωτός (φθορισμός φωσφορισμός), αλλαγή της ηλεκτρικής αγωγιμότητας των υλικών
Απορρόφηση Η χαρακτηριστική απορρόφηση του ατόμου δεν επηρεάζεται από το σχηματισμό χημικών δεσμών καθώς προκύπτει από διέγερση εσωτερικών ηλεκτρονίων και όχι ηλεκτρονίων της εξωτερικής στοιβάδας Το φάσμα απορρόφησης μπορεί να είναι διακριτό ή και συνεχές Επίσης υπάρχει απορρόφηση λόγω ηλεκτρονικής διέγερσης, δόνησης ή περιστροφής των μορίων Η απορρόφηση ακτινοβολίας περιγράφεται από τη σχέση: Ι=Ι ο exp(-ax) ή ln[i/i o ]=-ax όπου Ι= ένταση προσπίπτουσας ακτινοβολίας, Ι ο = ένταση προσπίπτουσας ακτινοβολίας που διαπερνά το υλικό, χ = το πάχος του υλικού a=γραμμικός συντελεστής απορρόφησης της ακτινοβολίας από το υλικό ( ο οποίος εξαρτάται από την πυκνότητα του υλικού και τη φυσική συχνότητα δόνησης των μορίων του υλικού
Απορρόφηση των μετάλλων και των μονωτών Τα μέταλλα παρουσιάζουν ισχυρή απορρόφηση και ανάκλαση της προσπίπτουσας ακτινοβολίας από τις πολύ μικρές συχνότητες μέχρι τις μεγάλες στο υπεριώδες άρα είναι αδιαφανή σε μεγάλο εύρος συχνοτήτων ενώ ο Pb και το Cd απορροφούν και στις ψηλές συχνότητες. Τα μέταλλα επίσης λόγω της ηλεκτρονικής τους δομής παρουσιάζουν έντονη απορρόφηση σε ορισμένες συχνότητες (μήκη κύματος) π.χ Au απορροφά το πράσινο φως και ανακλά το κόκκινο. Αντίθετα οι μονωτές απορροφούν μικρό μέρος της προσπίπτουσας ακτινοβολίας

Optical Fiber Information Digital signal t Emitter Input Output Photodetector Information TIR n 2 Fiber axis Light ray Core Cladding n 1 n 2 An optical fiber link for transmitting digital information in communications. The fiber core has a higher refractive index so that the light travels along the fiber inside the fiber core by total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface.
A small hole is made in a plastic bottle full of water to generate a water jet. When the hole is illuminated with a laser beam (from a green laser pointer), the light is guided by total internal reflections along the jet to the tray. The light guiding by a water jet was demonstrated by John Tyndall in 1854 to the Royal Institution. (Water with air bubbles was used to increase the visibility of light. Air bubbles scatter light.)
