Through the Looking Glass: Faraday Conversion in Turbulent Blazar Jets
Faint levels of circular polarization (Stokes V) have been detected in several relativistic jets. While typically less than a few percent, circular polarization can give us critical insight into the underlying nature of the jet plasma. Circular polarization can be produced through a process known as linear birefringence, in which initially linearly polarized emission produced in one region of t...
متن کاملAerogel waveplates.
Optical transmission measurements were made on 98% porosity silica aerogel samples under various degrees of uniaxial strain. Uniaxially compressed aerogels exhibit large birefringence, proportional to the amount of compression, up to the 15% strain studied. The birefringence is mostly reversible and reproducible through multiple compression-decompression cycles. Our study demonstrates that unia...
متن کاملSilicate glass coated microchannels through a phase conversion process for glass-like electrokinetic performance.
The surface modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels show a much more inferior performance to the durable and reproducible glass chip. In this paper, a facile approach to preparing a silicate glass modified PDMS microchannel for glass-like performance is presented. This glass-like performance is made possible by a phase conversion of a preceramic polymer--allylhydridopolycarbosilane (...
متن کاملOptofluidic microchannels in aerogel.
We report optofluidic waveguides made by filling microchannels in aerogel with water. The aerogel cladding is a nanoporous material with an extremely low refractive index of ~1.05, giving a large index step from the water core. Channels were formed by removing embedded optical fibers, which could be nonuniform or multiple. The porosity of the aerogel allowed air to be displaced from the channel...
متن کاملHe-a in Aerogel
Glass states formed in the superfluid 3 He confined in aerogel are discussed. If the short range order corresponds to the A-phase state, the glass state is nonsuperfluid in the long wave length limit. The superfluidity can be restored by application of a small mass current. Transitions between the superfluid and nonsuperfluid glass states can be triggered by small magnetic field and by the chan...
