Transformation of the polarization structure of laser radiation in optical systems

A range of questions regarding the calculation of the spatial polarization structure of laser radiation in optical systems is considered. It is shown that polarization aberrations in such systems lead to a distortion of the initial polarization structure.

Properties of laser gain of Li:CdZnO/ZnMgO quantum well

The many-body optical gain in Li:CdZnO/MgZnO quantum well (QW) structures with spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization, and ferroelectric dipole moment is investigated by using the non-Markovian gain model with many-body effects. The CdZnO/MgZnO QW structure with high Cd composition is found to have smaller optical gain because the strain-induced piezoelectric polarization and the spontaneous polarization in the well increase with the inclusion of Cd. The internal field is reduced due to the additional polarization by Li in the CdZnO/MgZnO QW structure. These results show that Li:CdZnO-based QW lasers are promising candidates for optoelectric applications in visible and UV regions.

Enhancement of optical gain in Li:CdZnO/ZnMgO quantum well lasers

The CdZnO/ZnMgO QW structure with high Cd composition is found to have smaller optical gain because the strain-induced piezoelectric polarization and the spontaneous polarization in the well increase with the inclusion of Cd. The internal field is reduced due to the additional polarization of opposite direction by Li in the CdZnO/ZnMgO QW structure. These results show that Li:CdZnO-based QW lasers are promising candidates for optoelectric applications in visible and UV regions.     

Giant improper ferroelectricity in the ferroaxial magnet CaMn7O12

In rhombohedral CaMn7O12, an improper ferroelectric polarization of magnitude 2870 μC m(-2) is induced by an incommensurate helical magnetic structure that evolves below T(N1)=90 K. The electric polarization was found to be constrained to the high symmetry threefold rotation axis of the crystal structure, perpendicular to the in-plane rotation of the magnetic moments. The multiferroicity is explained by the ferroaxial coupling mechanism, which in CaMn7O12 gives rise to the largest magnetically induced, electric polarization measured to date.

Light transmission through a circular metallic grating under broadband radial and azimuthal polarization illumination

We studied the characteristics of a circular metallic grating illuminated by broadband radial and azimuthal polarizations. We demonstrated that this scenario is the cylindrical analogue of a one-dimensional Cartesian grating illuminated by TM and TE polarizations. We measured the transmission spectra of this structure and observed strong polarization selectivity and, specifically, a resonance for radial polarization excitation, indicating a strong coupling to surface plasmons. The structure may be attractive for applications where pure radial polarization is needed, such as tight focusing, material processing, and particle trapping.     

Study of scattering from turbulence structure generated by propeller with FLUENT

In this article, the turbulence structure generated by a propeller is simulated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT. With the method of moments, the backscattering radar cross sections (RCS) of the turbulence structure are calculated. The scattering results can reflect the turbulent intensity of the wave profiles. For the wake turbulence with low rotating speed, the scattering intensity of HH polarization is much smaller than VV polarization at large incident angles. When the turbulence becomes stronger with high rotating speed, the scattering intensity of HH polarization also becomes stronger at large incident angles, which is almost the same with VV polarization. And also, the bistatic scattering of the turbulence structure has the similar situation. These scattering results indicate that the turbulence structure can also give rise to an anomaly compared with traditional sea surface. The study of electromagnetic (EM) scattering from turbulence structure generated by the propeller can help in better understanding of the scattering from different kinds of waves and provide more bases to explain the anomalies of EM scattering from sea surfaces.     

Role of cellulose crystallites in the polarization of a biopolymer composite: Wood in a nonuniform temperature field

Polarization phenomena caused by the presence of temperature gradients in a biopolymer such as wood are considered. It is shown that cellulose crystallites are centers of polarization in the fiber-forming part of the considered biocomposite. The relation for elementary polarization is obtained. It is proposed that the supermolecular structure of cellulose in samples of wood be studied by measuring the electric field characteristics of a thermal polarization nature.     

Formation of linearly polarized light with axial symmetry by use of space-variant subwavelength gratings

We present a novel method for forming linearly polarized axially symmetric beams with various polarization orders that is based on computer-generated space-variant subwavelength gratings. We introduce and experimentally demonstrate that our space-variant polarization state manipulations are accompanied by a phase modification of a helical structure that results from the Pancharatnam-Berry phase. We have verified the polarization properties of our gratings for laser radiation at 10.6-microm wavelength.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in degenerate two-level systems

The evolution of an electromagnetic wave with slowly varying polarization, which interacts resonantly with the medium formed by degenerate two-level atoms, is studied using the wave function approach under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. It is shown that the amplitude of the wave field propagates at the velocity of light in such a medium. The equation obtained for the polarization parameter has a solution in the form of a simple wave. The breaking length is determined. It is shown that the velocity of propagation of polarization waves may be much smaller than the velocity of light. The proposed approach is common for two-level systems with an arbitrary degeneracy. The case of a system with Zeeman degeneracy is analyzed in detail. The dependence of the velocity of propagation of the polarization structure on the amplitude and polarization is determined for an arbitrary level degeneracy. The evolution of the polarization structure in such a medium is discussed.     

Polarization insensitive thermally tunable add/drop multiplexer using cascaded Mach–Zehnder coupler

In this paper, a thermally tunable add/drop multiplexer based on a Y symmetric cascaded Mach–Zehnder (CMZ) coupler is found to be polarization dependent due to the stress anisotropy caused by local heating to achieve thermooptic phase change. A thermooptic delay line structure with a stress releasing groove is proposed for reduction of the polarization dependence of a Y symmetric delay line coupler of high index contrast waveguides. It is seen that thermally tunable transmission characteristics of a Y symmetric CMZ device based on the proposed structure is almost polarization independent. It is also found that the reduction of the heating power in the proposed structure is ∼1.6 times smaller than that of the conventional structure. PACS  29.27.Fh; 52.38.Kd
