We evaluated a polarimetry method to enhance retinal blood vessels masked by the epiretinal membrane. Depolarized light images were computed by removing the polarization retaining light reaching the instrument and were compared with parallel polarized light images, average reflectance images, and the corresponding images at 514 nm. Contrasts were computed for retinal vessel profiles for arterie...

Nonlinear refractive index, n of an undoped z-cut photorefractive LiNbO3 crystal has been investigated here by the Z-scan technique using a continuous wave (cw) laser beam from a multiline argon-ion laser. Here both the sign and magnitude of the measured n are considerably different from the reported z-scan result in LiNbO3 obtained with picoseconds pulsed laser at 532 nm but in good agreement ...

We present long-term observations of several VHE (E > 100 GeV) blazars with VERITAS, together with contemporaneous Swift and RXTE Xray data. The observed targets include Mrk 421, Mrk 501, 1ES 2344+514. Strong flux and spectral variability is seen in Mrk 421 on nightly time-scales between January and June 2008, revealing a highly correlated X-ray to GeV/TeV connection. Modest Xray variability is...
