-In this paper the origins of crosstalk in DWDM millimetre hybrid fibre radio networks are discussed. A means by which polarisation interleaving might be implemented with a view to reducing the impact of crosstalk is explained analytically. It is concluded that with standard fibre and continuous wave transmission polarisation interleaving provides little benefit if used over distances greater t...

We investigate the use of beam polarisation as well as final state τ polarisation effects in probing the interaction of the Higgs boson with a pair of heavy vector bosons in the process ee → ff̄H , where f is any light fermion. The sensitivity of the International Linear Collider (ILC) operating at √ s = 500 GeV, to such V V H(V = W/Z) couplings is examined in a model independent way. The effect...

A new kind of field representation on the far field sphere is presented. This representation is based upon the polarisation states of the field. Polarisation states can easily be obtained upon determining the peculiar loci in the field. Depending on the polarisation state of the field, it is demonstrated that, either one of the magnetic or the electric dipole moments is dominant. Subsequently, ...

We present a computational study of the internal optical forces arising in plasmonic gap antennas, dolmen structures and split rings. We find that very strong internal forces perpendicular to the propagation direction appear in these systems. These internal forces show a rich behaviour with varying wavelength, incident polarisation and geometrical parameters, which we explain in terms of the po...

Polarisation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in suspension was assessed using three techniques: 1) visual classification; 2) computerised morphometry; and 3) flow cytometry. While visual classification detected the formation, polarisation and type of cytoplasmic extensions produced by PMN, morphometry and flow cytometry detected only the formation of extensions. The area, perimeter and el...

We calculated the frequency dependent macroscopic dielectric function and second-harmonic generation of cubic ZnS, ZnSe and ZnTe within time-dependent density-polarisation functional theory. The macroscopic dielectric function is calculated in a linear response framework, and second-harmonic generation in a real-time framework. The macroscopic exchange-correlation electric field that enters the...
