phase shift [′fāz ‚shift]

(electronics)

The phase angle between the input and output signals of a network or system.

(physics)

A change in the phase of a periodic quantity. Also known as phase change.

A change in the phase angle between two periodic quantities.

(quantum mechanics)

For a partial wave of a particle scattered by a spherically symmetric potential, the phase shift is the difference between the phase of the wave function far from the scatterer and the corresponding phase of a free particle.

No references found			Even though phase shifts can have long-term negative effects for coral reefs, eliminating organisms responsible for phase shifts can be difficult, particularly if they cover a large area. Shipwrecks can wreck coral reefs by Asian News International In the absence of illumination by an intense optical beam, the two signals propagate in their separate and identical channels and acquire equal phase shifts in each one. Understanding the Basics of All Optical Switching by Colin Yao / Computers and Internet community Using a skew symmetrical perfect crystal Si-interferometer and a linear twin chamber cell, false phase shifts due to sample misalignment were reduced to a negligible level.
