Fast switchable electro-optic radial polarization retarder.
A fast and switchable electro-optic radial polarization retarder (EO-RPR) fabricated using the electro-optic ceramic Pb(Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O(3)-PbTiO(3) is presented. This EO-RPR is useful for fast and switchable generation of a pure cylindrical vector beam. When used together with a pair of half-wave plates, the EO-RPR can change circularly polarized light into any cylindrical vector beam of inter...
متن کاملA W: B4C multilayer phase retarder for broadband polarization analysis of soft x-ray radiation.
A W: B4C multilayer phase retarder has been designed and characterized which shows a nearly constant phase retardance between 640 and 850 eV photon energies when operated near the Bragg condition. This freestanding transmission multilayer was used successfully to determine, for the first time, the full polarization vector at soft x-ray energies above 600 eV, which was not possible before due to...
متن کاملA high-energy phase retarder for the simultaneous production of right- and left-handed circularly polarized x-rays
The availability of new high-energy synchrotron radiation sources, such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS), have made measurements of the spin-dependent momentum distribution of electrons much easier. Making these experiments feasible, however, requires high-energy x-rays (E > 30 keV) with not only a high flux density but also a high degree of circular polarization. Circularly polarized (CP) x...
متن کاملNanostructure by high-energy X-ray diffraction
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) has long been used to determine the atomic-scale structure of materials. This technique is based on the fact that the wavelength of X-rays is comparable to the distances between atoms in condensed matter. When a material exhibiting a long-range (i.e. at least micrometers), periodic atomic order, such as a crystal, is irradiated with X-rays it acts as an extended, well-de...
متن کاملThe high energy X-ray universe.
Since its beginning in the early 1960s, the field of X-ray astronomy has exploded, experiencing a ten-billion-fold increase in sensitivity, which brought it on par with the most advanced facilities at all wavelengths. I will briefly describe the revolutionary first discoveries prior to the launch of the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observatories, present some of the current achievements, and of...
