Faraday mirror-typed optical current transformers and its theoretical analysis

A Faraday mirror-typed optical current transformer (OCT) design with turn-back optical paths is proposed to overcome the harmful effects of the linear birefringence inside bulk glass current sensing head, which can double the sensitivity and improve the state of polarization of the system output. The theoretical analysis of the working principle, the simulation of the polarization state of the output light beam and the comparison between it and the OCT with polarization preserving total reflection (PPTR) layers are presented. The results show that this design has a good suppressing effect on the degeneration of the polarization state of the output light, which has certain reference significance on the performance improvement of the present bulk glass OCT, and the development of practical OCTs.     

Gravitational Faraday Effect Produced by a Ring Laser

Using the linearized Einstein gravitational field equations and the Maxwell field equations it is shown that the plane of polarization of an electromagnetic wave is rotated by the gravitational field created by the electromagnetic radiation of a ring laser. It is further shown that this gravitational Faraday effect shares many of the properties of the standard electromagnetic Faraday effect. An experimental arrangement is then suggested for the observation of this gravitational Faraday effect induced by the ring laser.     

Laser Compton polarimetry at JLab and MAMI

For modern parity violation experiments it is crucial to measure and monitor the electron beam polarization continuously. In the recent years different high-luminosity concepts, for precision Compton backscattering polarimetry, have been developed, to be used at modern CW electron beam accelerator facilities. As Compton backscattering polarimetry is free of intrinsic systematic uncertainties, it can be a superior alternative to other polarimetry techniques such as M?ller and Mott scattering. State-of-the-art high-luminosity Compton backscattering designs currently in use and under development at JLab and Mainz are compared to each other. The latest results from the Mainz A4 Compton polarimeter are presented.

The Electromagnetic Sector of the Evans Field Theory

The equations of the electromagnetic sector of the Evans field theory are given in terms of differential geometry and are based on the well-known structure relations and Bianchi identities. The equations thus complete Einstein’s basic axiom, that physics is derived from geometry, and extend the axiom to electrodynamics. Precise tests are suggested for the theory using the interaction of circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation with a non-relativistic electron beam. These tests include; the inverse Faraday effect (IFE), radiatively induced fermion resonance (RFR), and the electromagnetic Aharonov-Bohm (EMAB) effect.

Growth of Tb3Ga5O12 fiber and bulk crystals using micro-pulling-down apparatus

A micro-pulling-down process, using Ir crucibles and RF heating, has been used to grow single-crystal fiber and bulk crystals of Tb₃Ga₅O₁₂ garnet (TGG). Single crystals ranging up to 450 mm in length have been produced. The crystals were 1–4 mm in diameter and were seeded-grown in the direction close to 1 1 1. The maximal crystal diameter achieved was 10 mm. Dependence of behavior of the solid–liquid interface on the growth parameters (temperature and pulling-rate) is discussed in detail.     

Simulation of the electromagnetic characters of a Faraday-shielded antenna in a helicon wave plasma source

In this article, a structure that employs a Faraday shield between the Shoji antenna and the dielectric tube, which aims to reduce the dielectric wall sputtering, is investigated for the helicon wave plasma (HWP) sources. Faraday shield is usually used between the antenna and the reaction chamber to reduce the radiation from the high electromagnetic field generation, as well as to prevent the sputtering of the antenna material from polluting the reaction chamber during the discharge. Here, the influence of the Faraday shield on the longitudinal and radial electric field of the antenna is analysed through COMSOL Multiphysics^TM. Significant attenuations of both the longitudinal and radial fields are observed in the presence of the shield. In addition, by comparing the electric field distribution under two different shielding parameters, it is found that the shielding effects are not the same. Therefore, a detailed study of two kinds of design (pitch and gap) for the shield was carried out. The results show that the pitch has a little impact on the overall shielding effect when the gap is unaltered. The best shielding performance appears when we set the pitch at T of 8 and 10. In addition, the shielding effect also becomes worse as the gap increases while the pitch remains unchanged. A relatively good shielding effect can be produced by setting the gap to the value of 4–8 mm (a gap/pitch ratio of 2/15–4/15). This work provides a theoretical basis for designing a Faraday shield structure between the antenna and the dielectric tube, which is helpful to realize stable and controllable HWP discharges.
