The PVLAS experiment: measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism with a birefringent Fabry-Perot cavity [PDF]
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.

High Birefringent ENZ Photonic Crystal Fibers [PDF]
A novel photonic crystal fiber (PCF) design that has a simple circular air hole configuration is reported that yields a very high birefringence. The enhanced birefringence is achieved by filling a select number of the air holes in its cladding with an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material to break the index symmetry of its X- and Y-polarization states ...

Multiple designs with broad applicability for enhancing birefringence in low-loss terahertz HC-ARF
The use of hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) as a transmission medium for the terahertz (THz) frequency range is attracting increasing attention from researchers. This paper introduces a low-loss, high birefringence anti-resonant fiber.

Polarization properties of interferometrically interrogated fiber Bragg grating and tandem-interferometer strain sensors [PDF]
Lead sensitivity in low-coherence interferometric fiber-optic sensors is a well-known problem. It can lead to a severe degradation in the sensor resolution and accuracy through its effect on the fringe visibility and interferometric phase.

Thermal Sensitivity of Birefringence in Polarization-Maintaining Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers
Polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber is the core sensitive component of a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG); its birefringence temperature stability is crucial for maintaining accuracy. Here, we systematically investigated the structural thermal deformation and

Polarization and dispersion properties of elliptical hole golden spiral photonic crystal fiber [PDF]
An elliptical air-hole golden spiral photonic crystal fiber (EGS-PCF) is analyzed with the full-vectorial finite element method. The air-holes in the EGS-PCF are arranged in a spiral pattern governed by the Golden Ratio, where the design has been ...
