A Far-Infrared Polarimeter Diagnostic for the Measurement of the Poloidal Magnetic Field in the TCV Tokamak

Information about the poloidal field inside the plasma and about the current density profile is essential for the understanding of the behavior of tokamak plasmas. The poloidal field outside the plasma edge is easily measured by a set of magnetic coils, wh ...

Using APCS for Plasma Vertical Control at TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, James Paley, Francesco Piras

Early tokamaks with circular cross-section plasmas were vertically stable in nature and no problems were reported on the control of the vertical position. However, the concept of vertically elongated plasma cross-section, with benefits to the energy confin ...

Dual-pump push-pull polarization control using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification of probe signals is highly polarization dependent. Maximum and minimum gain values are associated with a pair of orthogonal states of polarization (SOP), which are related to the pump SOP. Since the maxim ...

Sparse spectral factorization: Unicity and Reconstruction Algorithms

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu

Spectral factorization is a classical tool in signal processing and communications. It also plays a critical role in X-ray crystallography, in the context of phase retrieval. In this work, we study the problem of sparse spectral factorization, aiming to re ...

Polarization pulling based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in a dual-pump configuration

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification of probe signals is highly polarization dependent. Maximum and minimum gain values are associated with a pair of orthogonal states of polarization (SOP) at the fiber output. Since the maximum gain is much ...

Antiferroelectric–ferroelectric phase boundary enhances polarization extension in rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3

Dragan Damjanovic, Anirban Ghosh

The main mechanism of properties enhancement in the morphotropic phase boundary region separating tetragonal and rhombohedral phases of Pb(Zr1-xTix)O-3 (PZT) is related to polarization rotation. It is shown here that in proximity of the morphotropic phase ...

Exciton-polariton spin switches

Romuald Houdré, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

Integrated switching devices comprise the building blocks of ultrafast optical signal processing(1,2). As the next stage following intensity switching(1,3,4), circular polarization switches(5-9) are attracting considerable interest because of their applica ...

Feedback control of ECRH polarization on LHD

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici

The polarization of ECRH waves, set by the orientation of a pair of corrugated mirror polarizers in the transmission line, determines the degree of coupling to O- and X-modes in the plasma and has an important effect on the first-pass absorption. Existing ...

Polariton polarization-sensitive phenomena in planar semiconductor microcavities

Timothy Chi Hin Liew

From a theoretical point of view, we discuss a variety of phenomena linked to the spin and polarization degree of freedom of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. We start with linear optical effects including the optical spin Hall effect, for ...
