In inhomogeneous optically thick synchrotron sources a substantial part of the electron population at low energies can be hidden by self-absorption and overpowered by high energy electrons in optically thin emission. These invisible electrons produce Faraday rotation and conversion, leaving their footprints in the linear and circular polarized radiation of the source. An important factor is als...

A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...

Observational data for dusty comets are summarized and systemized. The dependence of the linear polarization on various parameters (the phase angle, wavelength, etc.) is analyzed. An ensemble of aligned spheroidal particles having various sizes and chemical compositions is used to fit the linear and circular polarization observed for the comet Halley.

We consider emission of a photon by an electron in the field of a strong laser wave. Polarization effects in this process are important for a number of physical problems. We discuss a probability of this process for circularly polarized laser photons and for arbitrary polarization of all other particles. We obtain the complete set of functions which describe such a probability in a compact cova...

2014 We study the hydrodynamic instability thresholds of a homeotropic nematic subjected to an elliptical shear. We analyse the role of the changes in the symmetry caused by the variation of the ellipticity of the shear around the degenerate circular polarization.

In this paper an attempt has been made to compute cross-polarization of millimeter waves in the 30-35 GHz frequency range due to rain. Laws and Parson’s drop size distributions for oblate spheroid drops at 20°C ITU-R (2002) model has been used to predict cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) for circular polarization. The study includes a number of earth stations in India, namely, Ahmedabad, ...

The flow due to torsional oscillations of a disk about a steady rotation in an elastico-viscous fluid which is also rotating has been analyzed. The flow is characterized by two circularly polarized waves travelling with different velocities. It is found that the depth of penetration or wave length decreases for and increases for where is the elastic parameter and is the frequency parameter. The...

Reference RF and timing systems were developed at SPring-8 in order to handle beams in a stable and flexible manner under various conditions of machine operation. A synchronous universal counter plays an essential role in the timing system. Here, the method to realize highprecision timing is described, as well as the tools that were required to confirm that the system operates as designed. Furt...
