Properties of intrinsic polarization angle ambiguities in Faraday tomography

Theoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna

Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...

Polarization properties of retroreflecting right-angle prisms.

The cumulative retardance Delta(t) introduced between the p and the s orthogonal linear polarizations after two successive total internal reflections (TIRs) inside a right-angle prism at complementary angles phi and 90 degrees - phi is calculated as a function of phi and prism refractive index n. Quarter-wave retardation (QWR) is obtained on retroreflection with minimum angular sensitivity when...

Using Polarization to Determine Intrinsic Surface Properties

Among properties computer vision attempts to extract from images are: local shape, intrinsic reflection parameters, and roughness because they are all crucial to the success of image interpretation in general and to realistic surface modeling in particular. We seek light reflection phenomena and reflectance models that could better capture the relation of reflected light parameters to the local...

Probing intrinsic polarization properties in bismuth-layered ferroelectric films

Polarization squeezing by optical faraday rotation.

We show that it is possible to generate continuous-wave fields and pulses of polarization squeezed light by sending classical, linearly polarized laser light twice through an atomic sample which causes an optical Faraday rotation of the field polarization. We characterize the performance of the process and we show that an appreciable degree of squeezing can be obtained under realistic physical ...
