Nonlinear repolarization dynamics in optical fibers: transient polarization attraction

In this work we present a theoretical and experimental study of the response of a lossless polarizer to a signal beam with a time-varying state of polarization. By lossless polarizer we mean a nonlinear conservative medium (e.g., an optical fiber) which is counter-pumped by an intense and fully polarized pump beam. Such medium transforms input uniform or random distributions of the state of pol...

The chemiluminescent response from human monocyte-derived macrophages exposed to various mineral fibers of different sizes.

The aims of the present work were to quantify ability to induce lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) from 6-9 day-old human monocyte-derived macrophages exposed to various mineral fibers, and to examine the relationship between ability to induce CL and fiber size. All fiber samples induced the CL response from the cells. The relationship between the number of fibers administered and the C...
