We report first-epoch circular polarization results for 133 active galactic nuclei in theMOJAVE program tomonitor the structure and polarization of a flux-limited sample of extragalactic radio jets with the VLBA at 15 GHz.We found strong circular polarization ( 0.3%) in approximately 15% of our sample. The circular polarization was usually associated with jet cores; however, we did find a few s...

Division-of-focal-plane (DoFP) polarization image sensors allow for snapshot imaging of linear effects with inexpensive and straightforward setups. However, conventional interpolation based reconstruction methods such produce unreliable noisy estimates quantities as Degree Linear Polarization (DoLP) or Angle (AoLP). In this paper, we propose a demosaicking algorithm by inverting the formation m...

We experimentally demonstrated the manipulation of 2 μm linearly polarized states in a diode-pumped YAG/Tm:YAG/YAG laser with high polarization extinction ratio of 28 dB for the very first time to the best of our knowledge. A stable linearly polarized state of 2 μm was achieved without using any specific intracavity optical polarization-selected elements. The unexpected phenomenon of tunable li...

In this study the Taguchi method, has been applied to optimize the heat treatment parameters for the corrosion resistance of AA6061 aluminum alloy. The experimental design consisted of four parameters (aging temperature, aging time, quenching environment and NaCl concentration), each containing three levels. Tafel polarization measurements were carried out to determine the corrosion resistance ...

We study an extension of Ehrhard–Regnier’s differential linear logic along the lines of Laurent’s polarization. We show that a particular object of the well-known relational model of linear logic provides a denotational semantics for this new system, which canonically extends the semantics of both differential and polarized linear logics: this justifies our choice of cut elimination rules. Then...

Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) imposes severe plastic strain on materials without changing the specimen dimensions. ARB process is mostly appropriate for practical applications because it can be performed readily by the conventional rolling process. An Al-2wt%Cu alloy was subjected to ARB process up to a strain of 4.8. Stacking of materials and conventional roll-bonding are repeated in the pro...

The polarization properties of any medium are completely described by the sixteen element Mueller matrix that relates the polarization parameters of the light incident on the medium to that emerging from it. Measurement of all the elements of the matrix requires a minimum of sixteen measurements involving both linear and circularly polarized light. However, for many diagnostic applications, it ...

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in dual linear polarization antennas for various purposes, e.g. polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. A key design goal for dual polarization antennas is to obtain a high cross-polarization suppression. When using standard techniques for improving the cross-polarization suppression in dual linear polarization antenna arrays u...
