Measuring Newtonian viscosity from the phase of reflected ultrasonic shear wave

In this paper, an acoustic shear impedance model is employed to obtain a relation between the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid and phase characteristics of ultrasonic shear wave reflection from a solid-fluid interface. The phase and magnitude of the reflection coefficient can be decoupled in this model. The decoupling allows an independent relation between the acoustic shear impedance (viscosity-density product) and phase of the reflection coefficient. The model was experimentally verified for different fluid-solid combinations. Comparison of the results with the commonly used absolute reflection coefficient method demonstrates that phase measurement provides improved measurements.     

Spectral technique for measuring phase retardation of a wave plate

We present a technique and algorithm for measuring the phase retardation of a wave plate based on spectral transmission curve. Through accurately extracting the intersection points' wavelengths from the spectral transmission curve, the effective phase retardation, absolute phase retardation, order, and physical thickness of the wave plate can be measured simultaneously in a wide spectral range. Experimental results show that the proposed technique has many advantages, such as higher data utilization, simpler extraction algorithm, and no strict requirement for the directions of transmission axes of the polarizer and analyzer, and the fast axis of the wave plate.

Full field automated evaluation of the quarter wave plate retardation by phase stepping technique

Quarter wave plates are optical elements commonly used in photoelasticity to obtain circularly polarized light. They divide the incident light field into two linearly polarized orthogonal components with a phase difference of a quarter of the light wavelength. Due to the tolerance in manufacturing, however, the actual phase shifting produced by the plates is affected by an error, which noticeably influences the photoelastic measurements performed by means of various automated methods. This paper presents a technique, based on the phase stepping method, for the full field automatic evaluation of the quarter wave plate error.

Measuring the degree of unitarity for any quantum process

The state transfer from cesium nS (n = 45?53) states to Stark (product) states induced by a weak electric field (WEF) pulse was investigated using the state-selective field ionization method in a standard magneto-optic trap (MOT). The WEF pulse shifts the nS Rydberg states that anticross with the (n ? 4) hydrogen-like manifolds, causing state transitions from the initial excited nS state to the Stark states. The mechanism of transfer was investigated by changing the rising and falling time of the WEF pulse and the switching off time of the external field pulse had an important role during the evolution process of product states. The population of the product states is also measured as a function of the principal quantum number and Rydberg densities.
