Understanding magnetic field strength and morphology is very important for studying astrophysical jets. Polarization signatures have been a standard way to probe the jet magnetic field. Radio and optical polarization monitoring programs have been very successful in studying the spaceand time-dependent jet polarization behaviors. A new era is now arriving with high-energy polarimetry. X-ray and ...

A 40-year-old male patient suffered from traumatic optic neuropathy in his right eye. Scanning laser polarimetry was arranged at 2 weeks, 9 weeks, 13 weeks, 24 weeks, and 34 weeks after the trauma. Manual or automated visual field testing was also arranged at 1 week, 5 weeks, 16 weeks, and 28 weeks correspondingly. The data revealed using scanning laser polarimetry (program GDx, version 1.0.05;...

The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) contains optics in Cameras 1 and 2 (NIC1 and NIC2) that enable imaging polarimetry at D1 and 2 km, respectively, with unprecedented spatial detail. PreÑight thermal vacuum tests revealed that the three polarizers in each camera have unique polarizing efficiencies and that the rotational orie...

We present the largest sample of high-mass star-forming regions observed using submillimetre imaging polarimetry. The data were taken using SCUBA in conjunction with the polarimeter on the JCMT in Hawaii. In total, 16 star forming regions were observed, although some of these contain multiple cores. The polarimetry implies a variety of magnetic field morphologies, with some very ordered fields....

Leaded pol analyses are used in sugar factories as an estimation of sucrose for factory control purposes and for cane payment. Health and environmental concerns associated with the use of lead for sample clarification has put pressure on the use of this method. Near infrared (NIR) polarimetry has been investigated as an alternative worldwide and the South African sugar industry has decided to r...

A systematic comparison between the line integrated electron density derived from interferometry and polarimetry at JET has been carried out. For the first time the reliability of the measurements of the Cotton-Mouton effect has been analyzed for a wide range of main plasma parameters and the possibility to evaluate the electron density directly from polarimetric data has been studied. The purp...

1 PROBING THE LUNAR SURFACE USING SPATIALLY RESOLVED OPTICAL AND NEARIR IMAGING POLARIMETRY WITH HST/ACS AND HST/NICMOS. Dean C. Hines, Yuriy Shkuratov, Misha Kreslavsky, Glenn Schneider, Gorden Videen, Michael Sitko, Heidi B. Hammel and Michael J. Wolff (Space Science Institute, 4750 Walnut Street, Suite 205, Boulder, CO 80301, Astronomical Institute of Kharkov National University, 35 Sumskaya...

A fully polarimetric borehole radar system with four combinations of dipole and cylindrical slot antennas, as shown in Fig. 1, was developed to acquire fully polarimetric data sets in drilled boreholes [1]. The system in conjunction with a methodology of radar polarimetry analysis, proposed in previous (a) Measurement configuration (b) Antenna arrangements for polarimetric data collection Fig. ...

We propose the development of an instrument by the Martin & Puplett-type Fourier Transform Spectrometer to applying the aperture synthesis technique in millimeter and submillimeter waves. We call this equipment the Multi-Fourier Transform interferometer(MuFT). MuFT performs a wide band imaging, spectroscopy and polarimetry in millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. We describe the fundamental...

We present the results of K-band imaging polarimetry of three radio galaxies, including the very red and apparently old z = 1.55 galaxy 53W091. We find weak evidence for polarization in components of 3C 441 and in the south-east companion of 53W091, but no evidence of significant polarization in 53W091 itself. We also find strong evidence that MRC 0156−252 is unpolarised. We present upper limit...
