An analysis of the received signal of Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with array antennas shows that the received signal has trilinear model characteristics. Trilinear decomposition-based joint symbol detection and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation for OFDM system with antenna array is proposed in this paper. The simulation results reveal that the symbol detection p...

We systematically study different approaches to introduce high birefringence and high polarization extinction ratio in hollow core antiresonant fibers. Having shown the ineffectiveness of elliptical cores to induce large birefringence in hollow core fibers, we focus on designing and optimizing polarization maintaining Hollow Core Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fibers (HC-NANF). In a first approac...

Fucoid zygotes have been extensively used to study cell polarization and asymmetrical cell division. Fertilized eggs are responsive to different environmental cues (e.g., light, gravity) for a long period before the polarity is fixed and the cells germinate accordingly. First, it is commonly believed that the direction and sense of the polarization vector are established simultaneously as indic...

If aspherical dust grains are immersed in an anisotropic radiation field, their temperature depends on the cross-sections projected in the direction of the anisotropy. It was shown that the temperature difference produces polarized thermal emission even without alignment, if the observer looks at the grains from a direction different from the anisotropic radiation. When the dust grains are alig...

We consider the polarization properties of optically thin synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistically moving electron–positron jets carrying large-scale helical magnetic fields. In our model, the jet is cylindrical, and the emitting plasma moves parallel to the jet axis with a characteristic Lorentz factor Γ. We draw attention to the strong influence that the bulk relativistic motion of t...

We develop a fast method for computing the electrostatic energy and forces collection of charges in doubly-periodic slabs with jumps dielectric permittivity at slab boundaries. Our achieves spectral accuracy by using Ewald splitting to replace original Poisson equation nearly-singular sources smooth far-field equation, combined localized near-field correction. Unlike existing methods, which mak...

The intensity of light scattered from nine rabbit corneas was measured as a function of scattering angle and polarization of the incident light beam. The stroma was found to be largely responsible for scattering in the backward direction, while the epithelium scattered more strongly in the forward direction. The effect of an epithelial edema was to increase the scattering in the forward directi...

We report on a study of polarization properties of asymmetric, multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) subjected to electrical RF modulation. When subjected to RF modulation, complex frequency-dependent polarization properties, especially near the polarization switching point are revealed. We propose a scheme of rapidly switching the two RF frequencies modulating the VCSEL, in...
