Repetition rate difference, stability and polarization extinction ratio of single-cavity polarization-multiplexed fiber laser with weak birefringence

open access: yesResults in Physics
We investigated a stable single-cavity polarization-multiplexed ring fiber laser with weak birefringence. The feasibility of the weak intrinsic residual birefringence to induce polarization-multiplexed pulses with low repetition rate difference under ...

Design of Optical Transducer for Recognition of Biomolecular Interactions between Bacterial Lipopolysaccharides and Amino Acids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep comprehension of biomolecular phenomena at interfaces is significant with their fundamental and practical importance. Our experimental and theoretical investigations reveal that specific amino acids (glutamic acid and aspartic acid) exhibit an orientational coupling with liquid crystals, which can recognize and optically report the interfacial ...

Examination of flow birefringence induced by the shear components along the optical axis using a parallel-plate-type rheometer

open access: yesScientific Reports
In this study, the concept of rheo-optics was applied to explore the flow birefringence induced by the stress components along the camera’s optical axis since it is often overlooked in the traditional theories of photoelastic flow measurement.

Spatially resolved stress measurements in materials with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography: image acquisition and processing aspects

open access: yes, 2011
We demonstrate that polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is suitable to map the stress distribution within materials in a contactless and non-destructive way. In contrast to transmission photoelasticity measurements the samples do

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Rigid‐Flexible Coupling Units Enable Robust Large Birefringence

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A rigid–flexible coupling strategy, combining flexible (S3)2− linear units with rigid (VO4)3− tetrahedra, yields Sr4(VO4)2S3—a robust crystal exhibiting large birefringence (Δn = 0.52@550 nm) and remarkable thermal, air, and water stability. ABSTRACT Birefringent crystals are central to polarization control in laser technologies (e.g., wave plates and ...

Dynamical Birefringence: Electron-Hole Recollisions as Probes of Berry Curvature

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2017
The direct measurement of Berry phases is still a great challenge in condensed-matter systems. The bottleneck has been the ability to adiabatically drive an electron coherently across a large portion of the Brillouin zone in a solid where the scattering ...

Birefringence of interferential mirrors at normal incidence Experimental and computational study

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we present a review of the existing data on interferential mirror birefringence. We also report new measurements of two sets of mirrors that confirm that mirror phase retardation per reflection decreases when mirror reflectivity increases ...
