A gas pixel detector for x-ray polarimetry

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2006
Even though lacking of solid experimental verifications, X-ray polarimetry is strongly established as a deep diagnostic tool for probing the emission mechanisms in astronomical sources of high energy radiation. The recent development of new, more efficient instrumentation, as well as the renewed interest of the theoreticians, has drawn a significant ...

Revealing the Hidden Stress Field and Its Thermal Input Dependence in Femtosecond Laser–Processed Silicon Photonic Chip Substrates via Weak Measurement

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 13, 13 July 2026.
A novel noncontact method based on weak value amplification enables high‐sensitivity stress mapping of femtosecond laser processed silicon photonic chip substrates. It converts microscale stress into the birefringent phase via the photoelastic effect and reads it out with weak measurement, achieving a 0.37‐kPa detection limit.

X-RAY AND GAMMA-RAY POLARIMETRY OF GRBS [PDF]

EAS Publications Series, 2013
Polarimetry is expected to play a major role as a diagnostic tool for GRBs. Techniques and methods for X/Gamma ray polarimetry are reviewed including the specific problems related to the transient nature of the sources. Optical data do not encourage optimistic predictions on polarimetry of afterglows.

Electronic Instrumentation in Chemical Analysis: A Case Study (and Other Examples) From a 20th‐Century “Revolution”

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
A review of advances in chemical analysis brought about by electronic instrumentation. The techniques, and their applications, demonstrate how, collectively, they played a crucial role in transforming the laboratory landscape. If not a relatively recent revolution in one branch of science, it was certainly a transformation.

X-Ray Spectro-polarimetry with Photoelectric Polarimeters [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract We derive a generalization of forward fitting for X-ray spectroscopy to include linear polarization of X-ray sources, appropriate for the anticipated next generation of space-based photoelectric polarimeters. We show that the inclusion of polarization sensitivity requires joint fitting to three observed spectra, one for each of ...
