With help of liquid crystal polymers (LCP) a polarization sensitive diffuser has been realized. By using convex microstructures made of LCP and an index matching layer, two distinct functions depending on the orientation of the device and the polarization ...
This work augments the proposal of Schwarzenbach & Flack [J. Appl. Cryst. (1989), 22, 601-605], who have advocated the use of a diffractometer-independent definition of the azimuthal angle ψ to specify the diffractiongeometry of a Bragg reflection. It ...
The influence of stress on the polarization extinction ratio (PER) when solderjet-bumping a bow-tie polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) to a V-grooved ceramic substrate is experimentally evaluated. Throughout this paper, the linear polarization of the cou ...

The layered FeTe2O5Cl compound was studied by specific-heat, muon-spin relaxation, nuclear magnetic resonance, and dielectric as well as neutron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements, and the results were compared to isostructural FeTe2O5Br. We fi ...
The influence of flexoelectric coupling on the internal structure of neutral domain walls in the tetragonal phase of perovskite ferroelectrics is studied. The effect is shown to lower the symmetry of 180 degrees walls which are oblique with respect to the ...
Under certain exposure conditions, femtosecond lasers create nanogratings in the bulk of fused silica for which the orientation is governed by the laser polarization. Such nanostructure induces stress that affects optical and chemical properties of the mat ...
The pronounced optical in-plane anisotropy of a suitably designed nonpolar GaN-based microcavity, mainly inherited from the valence-band complexity of wurtzite semiconductors, allows the coexistence of two different light-matter coupling regimes along orth ...
Since its prediction in 1996 by Imamoğlu and coworkers, the use of a non-equilibrium polariton condensate to produce an intense coherent light source referred to as a polariton laser has attracted a lot of interest in the whole physics community as it ...
A calculation method for accurately computing the displacement, image stress, and image energy induced by defects, such as cavities, precipitates, finite dislocation segments, and dislocation loops, in a free-standing anisotropic thin crystal film is prese ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
