Formation of probing radiation for investigating a uniaxial x-cut crystal with the help of an aperiodic diffractive axicon
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents an experimental study of transformation of a laser beam formed by an aperiodic diffractive axicon (fracxicon) in a lithium niobate x-cut. The beam is shown to undergo astigmatic rhomboidal transformation induced by the crystal birefringence. The output beam intensity distribution is measured at various distances from the crystal. The effects analyzed make it possible to extend the range of measuring thickness or birefringence of solid, liquid or gaseous media with uniaxial optical anisotropy.

Radiation damage in a micron-sized protein crystal studied via reciprocal space mapping and Bragg coherent diffractive imaging
For laboratory and synchrotron based X-ray sources, radiation damage has posed a significant barrier to obtaining high-resolution structural data from biological macromolecules. The problem is particularly acute for micron-sized crystals where the weaker signal often necessitates the use of higher intensity beams to obtain the relevant data. Here, we employ a combination of techniques, includin...

Background: Similar to the thermoluminescence (TL) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in TL crystals for dosimetry purposes. These optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. Materials and Methods: Single crystals of KBr and KCl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor p...

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and elastic properties of rocks play a major and vital role for the design of any engineering structure. The specimen diameter size is one of the main factors that influencing on UCS, elasticity modulus and Poisson’s ratio (E and υ). Here, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of specimen diameter size on UCS, E and υ. Moreover, we studied the co...

Introduction The use of cut-outs in electron applicators make changes on output, isodose, and percentage depth dose (PDD) curves. These changes and electron beam dose distribution in the form of three-dimensional (3D) can be measured by gel dosimeters. Materials and Methods Dosimetry was performed with and without a square shield (6×6 cm2 field). The energies were 4, 9, and 16 MeV and phantom w...
متن کاملInvestigating the Potential of Protoscolices for Cyst Formation under in vivo Microwave Radiation
Introduction: Hydatid cyst surgery leads to the cyst rupture and release of protoscolices. Following the results of the previous study showing that microwaves have the ability to deactivate protoscolices in vitro, this study aimed to investigate the effect of these microwaves on protoscolices in vivo. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 24 mice. Hydatid cysts from sheep were coll...
