We report the detection of circular polarization during the 1994 outburst of the Galactic microquasar GRO J1655−40. The circular polarization is clearly detected at 1.4 and 2.4 GHz, but not at 4.8 and 8.4 GHz, where its magnitude never exceeds 5 mJy. Both the sign and magnitude of the circular polarization evolve during the outburst. The time dependence and magnitude of the polarized emission c...

A broadband and compact size circularly polarized (CP) two-port multiple input output (MIMO) antenna with a footprint of 25 mm $\times20$ is investigated. The designed oval-shaped MIMO employs concentric rings oval slots (CROS), along...

Using the Richards–Wolf formalism, we obtain explicit analytical expressions for optical helicity density at tight focus of four different light beams: a linearly polarized vortex, an vortex with right-handed circular polarization, superposition cylindrical vector beam and beam, hybrid circular-azimuthal polarization. We show that, in all cases, is nonzero has signs focal plane areas. If change...

The opposite transverse shifts for the right and left circular polarization components of a 100 fs 820 nm linearly polarized pulse focused onto GaAs are observed in situ via absorption. A time-delayed normally incident probe pulse scanned across the excitation spot detects the differential circular dichroism associated with the pump-induced transfer of spin angular momentum from light to electr...

The trajectory of the polarization state of a monochromatic light beam after it passes through a fixed linear polarizer and a rotating linear retarder of arbitrary retardance delta is determined on the Poincaré sphere. The three-dimensional figure-8 contour is shown to be the line of intersection of a right-circular cylinder with the sphere. The cylinder is parallel to the polar (S3) axis, touc...

We report here the detection of circular polarization in the Galactic Center black hole candidate, Sagittarius A*. The detection was made at 4.8 GHz and 8.4 GHz with the Very Large Array. We find that the fractional circular polarization at 4.8 GHz is mc = −0.36 ± 0.05% and that the spectral index of the circular polarization is α = −0.6 ± 0.3 (mc ∝ ν). The systematic error in mc is less than 0...

Microstrip patch antennas represent one family of compact antennas that offer a conformal nature and the capability of ready integration with communication system’s printed circuitry. In this project, a 2.4 GHz circular polarization microstrip antenna is designed, constructed and measured. The selected microstrip antenna is a dual –fed circular polarized microstrip antenna. The antenna consists...
