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

Polarizing optics in a spider eye [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2010 Many arthropods including insects and spiders exploit skylight polarization for navigation. One of the four eye pairs of the spider Drassodes cupreus is dedicated to detect skylight polarization. These eyes are equipped with a tapetum that strongly plane-polarizes reflected light.

Polarization-maintaining optical microfiber [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2010 We have successfully demonstrated a polarization-maintaining (PM) fused silica microfiber by adiabatically tapering a conventional PM fiber. Compared to standard single-mode microfibers, the proposed PM microfibers exhibit robust polarization, preserving characteristics under the presence of external perturbations, such as bending.

Polarization singularities in isotropic random vector waves [PDF]
, 2001 Following Nye & Hajnal, we explore the geometry of complex vector waves by regarding them as a field of polarization ellipses. Singularities of this field are the C lines and L lines, where the polarization is purely circular and purely linear ...

Effective Surface Roughness Impact in Polarimetric GNSS-R Soil Moisture Retrievals
Remote Sensing, 2023 Single-pass soil moisture retrieval has been a key objective of Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) for the last decade. Achieving this goal will allow small satellites with GNSS-R payloads to perform such retrievals at high ...
