Zero-birefringence pressure-sensitive adhesives
AIP 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 ...

Cosmic birefringence from the Axiverse [PDF]
, 2023 We revisit the evidence for CMB birefringence in the context of a rich Axiverse. Using probability density functions (PDFs) for various axion parameters, such as the mass and axion decay constant, we construct the PDF for the cosmic birefringence angle ...

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.

Twisted Hi-Bi fiber DFB lasers with controllable output polarization [PDF]
, 2012 We demonstrate that single polarization, hi-bi fiber DFB lasers are in general characterized by elliptical state of polarization, due to the in-built fiber birefringence axis rotation.
