Design of a Bilayer Metalens for Red, Green, and Blue‐Achromatic Imaging with Wide Field of View
Herein, an RGB‐achromatic bilayer metalens with a wide 80‐degree field‐of‐view and a high 0.65 numerical aperture is presented. Using silicon nitride meta‐atoms, it maintains consistent focal lengths for red, green, and blue light, even at oblique angles.

This study introduces a domain‐engineered PIN‐PMN‐PT ferroelectric crystal that enables efficient broadband second harmonic generation (SHG) without angle or temperature tuning. By engineering a “2T” domain structure, high SHG efficiency is achieved by noncollinear phase matching.

X-ray polarimetry with the microstrip gas chamber
A two-dimensional microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) with a 5 cm × 5 cm detection area has been developed. It has 254 anodes and 255 back strips, both with 200 µm pitches. Using this MSGC, linear polarization of X-rays was successfully measured in the energy range 6–14 keV.

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

A gas pixel detector for x-ray polarimetry
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 ...

The IXPE View of Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
Low-mass X-ray binaries hosting weakly magnetized neutron stars (NS-LMXBs) are among the brightest sources in the X-ray sky. Since 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has provided new measurements of the X-ray polarization of these ...

Hot Coronae in Local AGN: Present Status and Future Perspectives
The nuclear X-ray emission in radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is commonly believed to be due to inverse Compton scattering of soft UV photons in a hot corona. The radiation is expected to be polarized, the polarization degree depending mainly on
