The photochemical control of ground- and excited-state chirality of (M)-cis-(1) and (P)-trans-(2)-2-nitro-7-(dimethylamino)-9-(2',3'-dihydro-1'H-naphtho[2,1-b]-thiopyran-1'-ylidene)-9H-thioxanthene is described. It is shown that while ground state chirality can be controlled photochemically by irradiation with light of different wavelengths, the excited state chirality can be tuned either photo...

We have developed a luminescent marker using the second harmonic generation (SHG) from noncentrosymmetric BaTiO3 nanocrystals. These nanoparticles are attractive due to their stable, non-saturating and coherent signal with a femtosecond-scale response time and broad flexibility in the choice of excitation wavelength. In this paper, we report the SHG response of BaTiO3 nanocrystals under a circu...

Full optical fiber current sensor phase modulation is the use of magnetic field made the refraction different of left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light, and the linearly polarized light can be decomposed into a left-handed and right-handed circularly polarized light. The paper proposes research and design of reflective optical fiber current sensor based on improved phase modula...

Various methods of obtaining longitudinally polarized positrons for future linear col-liders are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the schemes using circularly polarized high-energy photons for positron production. Most effectively such photons are obtained from electrons passing through a helical undulator or colliding with a circularly polarized laser wave. Spectrum and polarization of r...

We study the low-temperature magnetophotoluminescence from individual CdSe nanocrystals. Nanocrystals having a small "bright" exciton fine structure splitting (Delta_{XY}<0.5 meV) exhibit a conventional left and right circularly polarized Zeeman photoluminescence doublet in applied magnetic fields. In contrast, nanocrystals with large Delta_{XY} (>1 meV) show an anomalous magnetophotoluminescen...

A printed circular open-loop antenna is introduced as a simple structure for producing circular polarization, the antenna is fed with a coaxial probe. By introducing a gap within the circular loop a traveling-wave current is excited and thus circularly polarized radiation can be achieved. An optimized circularly polarized antenna is designed through numerical analysis using a so-called parametr...

We demonstrate sequential lasing at two well-separated energies in a highly photoexcited planar microcavity at room temperature. Two spatially overlapped lasing states with distinct polarization properties appear at energies more than 5 meV apart. Under a circularly polarized nonresonant 2 ps pulse excitation, a sub-10-ps transient circularly polarized high-energy (HE) state emerges within 10 p...

The Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance between fast ions and shear Alfvén waves SAWs has been experimentally investigated with a test-particle fast-ion Li+ beam launched in the helium plasma of the Large Plasma Device Gekelman et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 1991 . Leftor right-hand circularly polarized SAWs are launched by an antenna with four current channels. A collimated fast-ion energ...

Asymmetric-circular shaped slotted microstrip patch antennas with slits are proposed for circularly polarized(CP) radiation and radio frequency identification reader applications. A single-feed configuration based asymmetric-circular shaped slotted square microstrip patches are adopted to realize the compact circularly polarized microstrip antenna. The CP radiation can be achieved by slightly a...

We provide the first experimental demonstration of the handedness dependent electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in chiral metamaterials during the interaction with circularly polarized waves. The observed chiral-sensitive EIT phenomena arise from the coherent excitation of a non-radiative mode in the component split ring resonators (SRRs) produced by the corresponding Born-Kuhn type ...
