Acceleration toward polarization singularity inspired by relativistic E×B drift
The relativistic trajectory of a charged particle driven by the Lorentz force is different from the classical one, by velocity-dependent relativistic acceleration term. Here we show that the evolution of optical polarization states near the polarization singularity can be described in analogy to the relativistic dynamics of charged particles. A phase transition in parity-time symmetric potentia...
متن کاملToroidal rotation driven by the polarization drift.
Starting from a phase space conserving gyrokinetic formulation, a systematic derivation of parallel momentum conservation uncovers a novel mechanism by which microturbulence may drive intrinsic rotation. This mechanism, which appears in the gyrokinetic formulation through the parallel nonlinearity, emerges due to charge separation induced by the polarization drift. The derivation and physical d...
متن کاملDrift-corrected nanoplasmonic hydrogen sensing by polarization.
Accurate and reliable hydrogen sensors are an important enabling technology for the large-scale introduction of hydrogen as a fuel or energy storage medium. As an example, in a hydrogen-powered fuel cell car of the type now introduced to the market, more than 15 hydrogen sensors are required for safe operation. To enable the long-term use of plasmonic sensors in this particular context, we intr...
متن کاملPolarization singularity anisotropy: determining monstardom.
C points, that is, isolated points of circular polarization in transverse fields of varying polarization, are classified morphologically into three distinct types known as lemons, stars, and monstars. These morphologies are interpreted here according to two natural parameters associated with the singularity, namely, the anisotropy of the C point and the polarization azimuth on the anisotropy ax...
متن کاملParticle acceleration and relativistic shocks
Observations of both gamma-ray burst sources and certain classes of active galaxy indicate the presence of relativistic shock waves and require the production of high energy particles to explain their emission. In this paper we first review the basic theory of shock waves in relativistic hydrodynamics and magneto-hydrodynamics, emphasising the astrophysically interesting cases. This is followed...
