Direct measurement of fiber Bragg grating local birefringence using optical low coherence reflectometry

open access: yes
Optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) was used for the measurement of the local fiber Bragg grating (FBG) birefringence. The birefringence with resolution of 4 x 10(-6) was determined directly from oscillations in the OLCR amplitude with a spatial ...

Low birefringence measurement and temperature dependence in metre-long optical fibers

open access: yes, 2015
We propose a relatively simple technique to infer the birefringence on single mode low-birefringence optical fibers based on the use of the Faraday effect.

Birefringence upper limit analysis of low birefringence fibers employed in the Faraday effect current sensors

open access: yes
The theoretical model of the Faraday rotation in the low birefringence optical fiber is proposed to serve as a convenient tool for the determination of the birefringence upper limit allowed to retain current sensor sensitivity.

POTDR techniques for measurement of fiber birefringence properties

open access: yes, 2002
Polarization-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry techniques which are used for measurement of fiber birefringence properties are discussed. The techniques are based on the fact that evolution of backscattered field polarization is affected by ...

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

Measurement of birefringence of optical materials using a wedged plate interferometer

open access: yes, 1990
A nondestructive technique for measuring the birefringence of optical materials such as calcite using wedged plate interferometer is presented. The sample needed for measuring the refractive index must be polished in the form of a parallel plate.

Histology and fossil diagenesis of a pterosaur tooth from the Crato Formation (Lower Cretaceous of Brazil)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Group-velocity-locked vector soliton molecules in fiber lasers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Physics phenomena of multi-soliton complexes have enriched the life of dissipative solitons in fiber lasers. By developing a birefringence-enhanced fiber laser, we report the first experimental observation of group-velocity-locked vector soliton (GVLVS ...

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Birefringence measurement of thin polymer films under tensile stress by a Brillouin scattering method

open access: yes, 2003
A Brillouin scattering technique has been applied to investigate the ultra-drawing process of polypropylene films. The gradual elastic changes during the drawing process showed the appearance of anisotropy and birefringence of the sample.
