A twisted periscope arrangement for transporting elliptically polarized light without change in its polarization state.

چکیده
The authors describe a dual-mirror 90(∘) twisted periscope arrangement for transporting polarized light in air, wherein a general elliptic polarization state of the light is preserved at all wavelengths. It is experimentally demonstrated that in the wavelength range 400-1000 nm, this arrangement preserves the polarization state fairly well when using either metallic or dielectric mirrors.

16.2: New Method of Designing LCD with Optimal Optical Properties
Mueller calculus is employed to find the conditions that govern linear polarization preservation and the linear to circular polarization transformation in a general twisted nematic LC cell. The results are applied to the design of both transmittive and reflective twisted nematic LCDs. New optimized optical modes are reported. This method provides a clear physical interpretation of all LCD modes...

متن کاملRelativistic photoelectron spectra in the ionization of atoms by elliptically polarized light
Recently an increasing interest in the investigation of relativistic ionization phenomena has been observed [1–10]. Relativistic effects will appear if the electron velocity in the initial bound state or in the final state is comparable with the speed of light. The initial state should be considered relativistic in the case of inner shells of heavy atoms [3,4]. In a recent paper [10] the photoi...
متن کاملGeneration and Proof of Elliptically Polarized X-Rays
Using an arrangement being analogous to optics of visible light the phase relation of the mutually perpendicularly polarized wave fields are examined in the Laue case of X-ray diffraction. Bragg reflections at an angle of reflection of about 45° are used as polarizer and analyzer. The different phase relations result from different thicknesses of a wedge-shaped silicon crystal, which is placed ...
متن کاملNonlinear magneto-optical rotation of elliptically polarized light
We predict theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an ellipticity-dependent nonlinear magneto-optic rotation of elliptically polarized light propagating in a medium with atomic coherence. We show that this effect results from hexadecapole and higher-order moments of the atomic coherence, and is associated with an enhancement of Kerr and higher-order nonlinearities accompanied by suppressio...
