Single-molecule detection with a two-photon fluorescence microscope with fast-scanning capabilities and polarization sensitivity.
We describe a laser-scanning two-photon fluorescence microscope that is capable of observing single molecules with excellent temporal resolution and three-dimensional spatial resolution. To demonstrate the capabilities of the instrument we present single-molecule fluorescence data obtained in several different scanning modes. In addition, a polarization-sensitive detection scheme can provide de...
متن کاملFast Polarization Switch for Polarization-based Quantum Communication
We present a complete optoelectronic unit for polarization visualization, switching and control. The system is based on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) unit and comprises: an acquisition unit containing an analog polarimeter and digital-to-analog converters; an FPGA capable of implementing an optimal algorithm for three-stage arbitrary polarization tracking; and an electronic driver with...
متن کاملPolarization sensitivity of optical resonant dipole antennas
The polarization sensitivity of optical resonant dipole antennas is investigated numerically using the Green’s tensor technique. The electric field-intensity in the feed-gap of the antenna is calculated as function of the polarization of the incident field. A simple analytical model is proposed that matches the numerical data very well. While a very strong polarization sensitivity can be achiev...
متن کاملSensitivity of γ-Ray Detectors to Polarization
The EGRET instrument aboard CGRO is the largest γ-ray detector to date and has collected several thousand photons above 30 MeV for the strongest sources, the Vela and Crab pulsars. Most of the energy output of young pulsars is in beamed γ rays which emission models predict to posses a high degree of linear polarization (eg. Romani and Yadigaroglu 1995), and polarization observations would prove...
متن کاملSingle photon detector with high polarization sensitivity
Polarization is one of the key parameters of light. Most optical detectors are intensity detectors that are insensitive to the polarization of light. A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) is naturally sensitive to polarization due to its nanowire structure. Previous studies focused on producing a polarization-insensitive SNSPD. In this study, by adjusting the width and pitch...
