Optical imaging of antiferromagnetic domains in ultrathin CoO(001) films

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2020
Antiferromagnetic (AFM) domains in ultrathin CoO(001) films are imaged by a wide-field optical microscopy using magneto-optical birefringence effect.

Imaging polarimetry for the determination of stress constraint in transparent solids

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
Using a Mueller matrix polarimeter based on liquid crystal cells [1] and the forward polar decomposition [2], we study the evolution of the birefringence property induced by an increasing compression of a Plexiglas sample.

Apparatus for time‐resolved measurements of acoustic birefringence in particle dispersions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
An apparatus for time‐resolved measurements of the birefringence induced in a particle suspension by an acoustic wave pulse is described. Efficient acoustic coupling is obtained by operating near the transducer resonant frequency and by matching the ...

Long-Time Relaxation of Stress-Induced Birefringence of Microcrystalline Alkali Halide Crystals

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Alkali halide single crystals are most commonly used as the diluent matrix in the tablet method or disk technique for spectroscopic measurements. However, stress-induced birefringence (SIB) of alkali halides as well as intrinsic birefringence manifest ...

Recent Progress in Distributed Brillouin Sensors Based on Few-Mode Optical Fibers

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Brillouin scattering is a dominant inelastic scattering observed in optical fibers, where the energy and momentum transfer between photons and acoustic phonons takes place.

Measurements of flow-induced birefringence in microfluidics [PDF]

open access: yesBiomicrofluidics, 2016
In this study, we demonstrate the use of a microscopic circular polariscope to measure the flow-induced birefringence in a microfluidic device that represents the kinematics of fluid motion optically. Unlike the commercial birefringence microscope employed in the previous studies, our approach is able to provide direct measurement of retardance, which ...

Intermolecular Interactions as Driving Force of Increasing Multiphoton Absorption in a Perylene Diimide‐Based Coordination Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study uncovers the unexplored role of intermolecular interactions in multiphoton absorption in coordination polymers. By analyzing [Zn2tpda(DMA)2(DMF)0.3], it shows how the electronic coupling of the chromophores and confinement in the MOF enhance two‐and three‐photon absorption.

Measurement of plasma current in Tokamaks using an optical fibre reflectometry technique

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
An optical time-domain reflectometer sensitive to the polarization of light is proposed for the measurement of plasma current in the Tore Supra fusion reactor. The measurement principle relies on the Faraday effect i.e.

Magnetic linear birefringence measurements using pulsed fields [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review A, 2012
In this paper we present the realization of further steps towards the measurement of the magnetic birefringence of the vacuum using pulsed fields. After describing our experiment, we report the calibration of our apparatus using nitrogen gas and we discuss the precision of our measurement giving a detailed error budget.
