Thin structured surfaces allow flexible control over propagation of electromagnetic waves. Focusing and polarization state analysis are among functions, required for effective manipulation of radiation. Here a polarization sensitive Fresnel zone plate lens is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for GHz spectral range. Two spatially separated focal spots for orthogonal polarizations are obt...

We consider active polarimetric imaging systems that illuminate a scene with an incident polarization state and project the backscattered light on another polarization state in order to produce a scalar intensity image. We present and analyze a method for determining the configuration of illumination and analysis polarization states that maximizes the observed contrast between a target and the ...

we study copper corrosion inhibition by ethanolamine (eta)with (0, 0.2 ,0.3,0.4,0.5) vol.% concentrations in 100 ppm nacl solution. this work is carried out by potentiodynamic measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). the substrates' surface morphologies are examined by scanning electron microscopy (sem). etais characterized by nmr spectra of eta1h and 13c and fourier ...

A new method for DNA diagnostics based on template-directed primer extension and detection by fluorescence polarization is described. In this method, amplified genomic DNA containing a polymorphic locus is incubated with oligonucleotide primers (designed to hybridize to the DNA template adjacent to the polymorphic site) in the presence of allele-specific dye-labeled dideoxyribonucleoside tripho...

Femtosecond laser exposure in the non-ablative regime induces a variety of bulk structural modifications, in which anisotropy may depend on the polarization of the writing beam. In this work, we investigate the correlation between polarization state and stress anisotropy. In particular, we introduce a methodology that allows for rapid analysis and visualization of laser-induced stress anisotrop...

2 We present a measurement of the polarization of hyperons produced in charged current interactions. The full data sample from the NOMAD experiment has been analyzed using the same V 0 identiication procedure and analysis method reported in a previous paper 1] for the case of hyperons. The polarization has been measured for the rst time in a neutrino experiment. The polarization vector is found...

Theoretical results on the electromagnetic wave diffraction from a periodic strip grating placed on a chiral medium are obtained. Analytical Regularization Method based on the solution to the vector Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem was used to get robust numerical results in the resonant domain, where direct solution methods typically fail. It was shown that in the case of normal incidenc...

For a class of non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves C which are 2-fold coverings of elliptic curves E, we give an explicit algebraic description of all birationally nonequivalent genus 2 curves whose Jacobians are degree 2 isogeneous to the Prym varieties associated to such coverings. Our description is based on previous studies of Prym varieties with polarization (1,2) in connection with separatio...

It is shown that metal gratings can be used to improve the cross polarization of circularly-polarized aperture-coupled microstrip antennas. The metal gratings reduce edge diffraction from the finitesize grounded dielectric slab on which the antennas are printed. The edge diffraction is due to surface waves that can propagate in the grounded dielectric slab. The design of the metal grating is ba...

We report a theoretical study on the effect of mechanical rotation of nanomagnet about a fixed axis due to its interaction with an electromagnetic wave with a frequency approaching that of ferromagnetic resonance. A stationary mode of rotation is investigated. We show that the rotation speed magnitude is proportional to the squared amplitude of the wave’s magnetic field, being maximum for a cir...
