BIREFRINGENT ELECTROWEAK DEFECTS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2002 In this paper we examine the propagation of electromagnetic waves through electroweak textures and W-strings. The photon is associated with a negative mass squared term as a consequence of its coupling to the intermediate vector bosons from which the electroweak defect is constructed.

Pushing Purcell-enhancement beyond its limits [PDF]
, 2020 Purcell-enhanced emission from a coupled emitter-cavity system is a fundamental manifestation of cavity quantum electrodynamics. Starting from a theoretical description we derive a scheme for photon emission from an emitter coupled to a birefringent ...

Measurement of Birefringence of Low-Loss, High-Reflectance Coating of M-Axis Sapphire [PDF]
, 2001 The birefringence of a low-loss, high-reflectance coating applied to an 8-cm-diameter sapphire crystal grown in the m-axis direction has been mapped. By monitoring the transmission of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of the polarization of

Visible to mid-infrared giant in-plane optical anisotropy in ternary van der Waals crystals
Nature Communications, 2023 Birefringence is at the heart of photonic applications. Layered van der Waals materials inherently support considerable out-of-plane birefringence.

A note on polarized light from magnetars [PDF]
, 2017 In a recent paper it is claimed that vacuum birefringence has been experimentally observed for the first time by measuring the degree of polarization of visible light from a magnetar candidate, a neutron star with a magnetic field presumably as large as ...

Laser-stimulated birefringence of Ga2O3-La2S2.95Se0.05 glasses for optical recording of information
Results in Physics, 2019 We show an opportunity to change the birefringence of Ga2O3 – La2S2.95Se0.05 glasses doped by Er3+ and La3+ ions at λ = 1150 nm wavelength of cw He-Ne laser under illumination of the femtosecond laser.

The PVLAS experiment: measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism with a birefringent Fabry-Perot cavity [PDF]
, 2015 Vacuum magnetic birefringence was predicted long time ago and is still lacking a direct experimental confirmation. Several experimental efforts are striving to reach this goal, and the sequence of results promises a success in the next few years.
