Birefringent optofluidic gratings

open access: yesOptics Express, 2020
A set of parallel microfluidic channels behaving as a diffraction grating operating in the Raman-Nath regime has been fabricated and studied. The diffraction efficiency of such structure can be tuned by selecting a liquid with a particular refractive index and/or optical anisotropy.

Effect of pH, ethanol concentration, and temperature on detection of quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) birefringence [PDF]

open access: yesManagement of Biological Invasions, 2013
In the western United States, federal, state, and local agencies have engaged in extensive efforts to detect the presence of larval dreissenid mussels (veligers) in water bodies before such a presence becomes a full-scale infestation.

Stress Analysis of Polarization Maintaining Optical Fibers by the Finite Element Method

open access: yesInternational Islamic University Malaysia Engineering Journal, 2012
Stress-induced birefringence in single mode polarization maintaining optical fibers has been investigated using the finite element method. The modal birefringence caused by external forces in the Panda and the Side Tunnel fibers are calculated.

Tunable and Switchable Dual-Wavelength Dissipative Soliton Operation of a Weak-Birefringence All-Normal-Dispersion Yb-Doped Fiber Laser

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2013
We report on the generation of tunable and switchable dual-wavelength dissipative solitons (DSs) in a weak-birefringence all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped fiber laser based on the nonlinear polarization rotation technique.

Zero-birefringence pressure-sensitive adhesives

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2012
We have developed zero-birefringence pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) that exhibit almost no birefringence at any orientation of polymer chains. To evaluate the birefringence of PSAs quantitatively, we report a novel birefringence-measurement method ...
