Magnetic Faraday rotation in lossy photonic structures [PDF]
, 2009 Magnetic Faraday rotation is widely used in optics and MW. In uniform magneto-optical materials, this effect is very weak. One way to enhance it is to incorporate the magnetic material into a high-Q optical resonator.

Rotational dynamics of optically trapped polymeric nanofibers [PDF]
Optics Express, 2009 The optical trapping of polymeric nanofibers and the characterization of the rotational dynamics are reported. A strategy to apply a torque to a polymer nanofiber, by tilting the trapped fibers using a symmetrical linear polarized Gaussian beam is ...

Rotating Optical Soliton Clusters [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We introduce the concept of soliton clusters -- multi-soliton bound states in a homogeneous bulk optical medium, and reveal a key physical mechanism for their stabilization associated with a staircase-like phase distribution that induces a net angular momentum and leads to cluster rotation.

Rotational spectroscopy with an optical centrifuge [PDF]
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2014 We demonstrate a new spectroscopic method for studying electronic transitions in molecules with extremely broad range of angular momentum. We employ an optical centrifuge to create narrow rotational wave packets in the ground electronic state of $^{16}$O$_2$.

Optics of rotating systems [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2009 Electrodynamics of rotating systems is expected to exhibit novel nonlocal features that come about when acceleration-induced nonlocality is introduced into the special relativity theory in conformity with the Bohr-Rosenfeld principle. The implications of nonlocality for the amplitude and frequency of electromagnetic radiation received by uniformly ...

Optically probing symmetry breaking in the chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3 [PDF]
, 2016 We report on the linear optical properties of the chiral magnet Cu2OSeO3, specifically associated with the absence of inversion symmetry, the chiral crystallographic structure, and magnetic order.

Optics Express, 2008 The optical cell rotator (OCR) is a modified dual-beam laser trap for the holding and controlled rotation of suspended dielectric microparticles, such as cells. In contrast to optical tweezers, OCR uses two counter-propagating divergent laser beams, which are shaped and delivered by optical fibers.

Rotating optical tweezers [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2005 Several methods to rotate and align microscopic particles controllably have been developed. Control of the orientation of a trapped particle allows full three dimensional manipulation, whereas rotating particles are tools for the development of optically-driven micromachines. It has been shown that the orientation of an object in the laser trap depends

Optical rotation of white light [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2020 Plane-polarized monochromatic light is rotated in an optically active medium. The extent of the rotation is wavelength dependent, following an optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) curve. Typically, this phenomenon is studied by using a few discrete wavelengths. Here, we demonstrate optical rotation of white light. Corn syrup is used as the medium as large
