Polarization singularities in the clear sky

open access: yes, 2004
Ideas from singularity theory provide a simple account of the pattern of polarization directions in daylight. The singularities (two near the Sun and two near the anti-Sun) are points in the sky where the polarization line pattern has index +1/2 and the ...

Electrochemical Behavior of Flame‐Sprayed Sc‐Doped AlCoCrFeMo High‐Entropy Alloy Coatings in 3.5% Sodium Chloride Solution

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Scandium (Sc)‐doped AlCoCrFeMo HEA coatings are fabricated via flame spraying with 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% Sc additions. Among these, the HEA‐Sc0.3 coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, indicated by a more positive corrosion potential and lower current density.

Relativistic Scattering in the Funnel of Cygnus X-3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Cygnus X-3 presents significant challenges to standard accretion models. Recent polarimetric observations by X-ray Polarimetry Explorer reveal high polarization degrees in the hard state (∼23%) and unexpectedly significant polarization in the soft state (

A waveguide polarization toolset design based on mode beating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A toolset of waveguide elements is examined, which can be combined to produce polarization functional devices in a single contiguous waveguide. In particular, waveguide implementations of an optical isolator and a polarization modulator are discussed ...

High‐Resolution Corrosion Fingerprinting of Alloy Libraries via Microdroplet Spectroelectrochemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic‐liquid microdroplet spectroelectrochemistry enables stable, localized electrochemical measurements over extended timescales. By coupling impedance spectroscopy, wetting analysis, finite‐element simulations, and operando Raman spectroscopy, it disentangles geometrical and electrochemical effects, opening new opportunities for rapid corrosion ...

On the Non-Paraxial Diffraction of the Set of All Possible Stigmatic Pairs of Mirrors

open access: yesPhotonics
We present a comprehensive vector diffraction analysis of stigmatic pairs of mirrors derived from closed-form equations that describe all possible aplanatic two-mirror systems.

Uniform Amorphization of Crystalline Silicon Surfaces Enabled by Deep Ultraviolet Femtosecond Laser Pulses

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Deep‐UV (258 nm) femtosecond pulses enable uniform amorphous silicon writing on Si(100)/(111) with a six‐fold larger fluence amorphization window than NIR methods. Optimized fluence and overlap yield 20–45 nm uniform and continuous amorphous layers. Microscopy shows sharp interfaces, and real‐time reflectivity reveals nanosecond melt–resolidification ...

Polarization Independent Achromatic Meta-Lens Designed for the Terahertz Domain

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2020
In recent years, metasurface-based focusing elements have gradually become an indispensable type of terahertz lenses. However, the meta-lens often suffers from chromatic aberration due to the intrinsic dispersion of each element, especially in the ...

Polarization ray tracing and polarization aberration compensation in reflective, astronomical telescopes [PDF]

open access: yesOptical Modeling and Performance Predictions X, 2018
Assessing and optimizing polarization performance in the context of ray-based optical design can be challenging. We describe an approach to this problem that decouples polarization effects from optical system geometry for reflective systems.

Aberration-free calibration for 3D single molecule localization microscopy

open access: yes, 2017
We propose a straightforward sample-based technique to calibrate the axial detection in 3D single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). Using microspheres coated with fluorescent molecules, the calibration curves of PSF-shaping- or intensity-based ...
