Spun fibres: a quasi circularly birefringent medium

Luc Thévenaz, Ana Gabriela Correa Mena, Xu Cheng

A simplified model describing the polarisation characteristics of spun fibres is proposed, aiming at determining how close to a circularly birefringent medium such a fibre is. This is of crucial importance regarding the interest of such a medium for magnet ...

On the behavior of uniaxial static stress loaded micro-scale fused silica beams at room temperature

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou, Saood Ibni Nazir

The question of whether static stress in fused silica relaxes at room temperature is still under debate. Here, we report experimental data investigating the behavior of fused silica at room temperature when subjected to static tensile stress up to 2 GPa st ...

Optical metasurfaces: synthesis, nanofabrication, and colorful applications

Hsiang-Chu Wang

In this thesis, we mainly utilize silver to construct the meta-atoms. Although suffering from easily oxidized, its excellent lossless property throughout the visible range makes it suitable for study. When preserved properly, silver-made metasurfaces can s ...

Efficient equilibrium-based stress recovery for isogeometric laminated curved structures

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Alessandro Reali

This work extends the stress recovery for laminated composite solid plates, proposed in [1,2], to curved structures. Based on 3D Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) computations and equilibrium, this procedure uses a single element through the thickness in combina ...

A Computational Framework For Two-Dimensional Random Walks With Restarts

Stefano Massei

The treatment of two-dimensional random walks in the quarter plane leads to Markov processes which involve semi-infinite matrices having Toeplitz or block Toeplitz structure plus a low-rank correction. We propose an extension of the framework introduced in ...

SIAM PUBLICATIONS2020

Recently, investigation of metasurfaces has been extended to wave control through exploiting nonlinearity. Among all of the ways to achieve tunable metasurfaces with multiplexed performances, nonlinearity is one of the promising choices. Although several p ...
