The Transition between Nonorthogonal Polarization Modes in PSR B2016+28 at 1404 MHz
Polarization observations of the radio emission from PSR B2016+28 at 1404 MHz reveal properties that are consistent with two, very different, interpretations of the pulsar’s viewing geometry. The pulsar’s average polarization properties show a rapid change in position angle (PA) near the pulse center, suggesting that the observer’s sightline nearly intersects the star’s magnetic pole. But singl...
متن کاملQuantum noise in a laser with nonorthogonal polarization modes
We describe the quantum-noise behavior of a laser that has nonorthogonal polarization modes. The nonorthogonality of the modes leads to excess quantum noise. Theoretically, we derive the excess noise dynamics of the laser, including the saturation of the gain medium. Experimentally, we have measured the noise dynamics in the polarization, intensity and phase degrees of freedom of a 3.51-mm HeXe...
متن کاملThreshold behavior of a laser with nonorthogonal polarization modes
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the influence of the excess quantum noise in a laser on the laser’s input–output curve near threshold. As an experimental system we use a He–Xe gas laser with nonorthogonal polarization modes. We observe that the excess quantum noise is absent far below threshold and steadily builds up as threshold is approached. The excess noise is fully develope...
متن کاملDiscrimination between Nonorthogonal Two-photon Polarization States *
It is shown that generalized measurements, required for optimally discriminating between nonorthogonal joint polarization states of two indistinguishable photons, can be realized with the help of polarization-dependent twophoton absorption and by means of sum-frequency generation. Optimization schemes are investigated with respect to minimizing the error probability in inferring the states, as ...
متن کاملEllipticity and Deviations from Orthogonality in the Polarization Modes of PSR B0329+54
We report on an analysis of the polarization of single pulses of PSR B0329+54 at 328 MHz. We find that the distribution of polarization orientations in the central component diverges strongly from the standard picture of orthogonal polarization modes (OPMs), making a remarkable partial annulus on the Poincaré sphere. A second, tightly clustered region of density appears in the opposite hemisphe...
