Abstract:
The electrically controlled birefringence of nematic liquid crystal BL-009 was measured by polarized interference method. The influence of LC absorption effect, the birefringence variation, is discussed in this paper. The experiments results showed the influence to birefringence is big in infrared region. Not only the birefringence value is greatly different with that of unconsidering absorption effect, but also the gradient changing of birefringence curves is obvious. Furthermore, the electrically controlled birefringences of two conditions are compared when the absorption coefficients of ordinary light and the extraordinary light are nearly same and greatly different. The analysis demonstrated the approximate method of absorption coefficient is feasible.

Abstract:
Diabetes affects the structure of the blood vessel walls. Since the blood vessel walls are made of birefringent organized tissue, any change or damage to this organization can be evaluated using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). In this paper, we used PS-OCT along with the blood vessel wall birefringence index (BBI = thickness/birefringence2) to non-invasively assess the structural integrity of the human retinal blood vessel walls in patients with diabetes and compared the results to those of healthy subjects. PS-OCT measurements revealed that blood vessel walls of diabetic patients exhibit a much higher birefringence while having the same wall thickness and therefore lower BBI values. Applying BBI to diagnose diabetes demonstrated high accuracy (93%), sensitivity (93%) and specificity (93%). PS-OCT measurements can quantify small changes in the polarization properties of retinal vessel walls associated with diabetes, which provides researchers with a new imaging tool to determine the effects of exercise, medication, and alternative diets on the development of diabetes.

Abstract:
Since 1986, when industry scientists first publicly showed data supporting the presence of azimuthal anisotropy in sedimentary rock, we have studied vertical shear‐wave (S-wave) birefringence in 23 different wells in western North America. The data were from nine‐component vertical seismic profiles (VSPs) supplemented in recent years with data from wireline crossed‐dipole logs. This paper summarizes our results, including birefringence results in tabular form for 54 depth intervals in 19 of those 23 wells. In the Appendix we present our conclusions about how to record VSP data optimally for study of vertical birefringence. We arrived at four principal conclusions about vertical S-wave birefringence. First, birefringence was common but not universal. Second, birefringence ranged from 0–21%, but values larger than 4% occurred only in shallow formations (<1200 m) within 40 km of California’s San Andreas fault. Third, at large scales birefringence tended to be blocky. That is, both the birefringence magnitude and the S-wave polarization azimuth were often consistent over depth intervals of several tens to hundreds of meters but then changed abruptly, sometimes by large amounts. Birefringence in some instances diminished with depth and in others increased with depth, but in almost every case a layer near the surface was more birefringent than the layer immediately below it. Fourth, observed birefringence patterns generally do not encourage use of multicomponent surface reflection seismic data for finding fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs, but they do encourage use of crossed‐dipole logs to examine them. That is, most reservoirs were birefringent, but none we studied showed increased birefringence confined to the reservoir.

Abstract:
A novel kind of high birefringent terahertz (THz) photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with material-filled structure is proposed in this paper. Based on the material-filled technology, which different materials are selectively filled into four air holes of the inner first circle near the central core in the designed THz PCFs, high birefringence are obtained from the structural and material-filled induced asymmetry in large frequency ranges near 1THz. Modal birefringence with different structural parameters and diverse refractive indices of the filled materials are investigated by plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The numerical results show that high birefringence up to 10-3can be obtained and its structure is simpler than that of the early proposed highly birefringent THz PCFs. It is helpful for PCFs design and real fabrication in the potential THz applications.

Abstract:
Birefringence induced by the orientation of polymer main chains during injectionmoulding or extrusion processing restricts the application of optical polymers to optical devices that require the polarization state of incident light to be maintained. To compensate this birefringence of polymers we propose using the “birefringent crystal dopant method” - homogeneous doping with an opposite birefringent needle-like crystal. Strontium carbonate (SrCO3) was selected for this purpose and synthesized, with a length of about 200nm and a width of about 20nm. SrCO3 was doped into poly(MMA/BzMA= 78/22(wt./wt.)) film. The film was uniaxially drawn at 130°C and 4mm/min. For the first time, the positive birefringence of the drawn copolymer film at a wavelength of 633nm was compensated by doping with 0.3wt.% of SrCO3 without loss of transparency and thermostability.

Abstract:
Tissue sections containing protozoa with birefringent spores indicate an infection by microsporidia. Hematoxylin and cosin (HE) does not affect spore birefringence, but some special stains (Goodpasture, Brown and Brenn, or Gram) obscure it. Encephalitozoon cuniculi from an infected puppy, Glugea stephani from the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus. and Plistophora sp. from the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica all have birefringent spores. Encephalitozoon was studied first and then the two genera from fishes were included for comparison. Small masses of newly formed spores (pseudocysts) line Glugea cysts and then merge into the contents of the cyst as it enlarges and bulges through the intestinal musculature to become subserosal. The birefringence of Plistophora is present in fully mature spores contained in pseudocysts, but may disappear when the spores are released and become involved in granulomas. Coccidians from various hosts were always non-birefringent. Whenever a protozoan organism in a tissue could be either microsporidian or coccidian, a test for birefringence, if positive, resolves the question. There may be no need to use a special stain.

Abstract:
A novel high-birefringent photonic crystal fiber (PCF) was proposed and analyzed by full-vector finite element method (FEM). The modal field and birefringence properties were investigated. All of air holes in proposed PCF are round, and their diameters are the same. It is greatly reduce the difficulty of fabrication. According to the results of numerical analysis, it can be observed that the mode birefringence of this novel PCF can be easily achieve the order of 10-3at 1.55μm. This research provides effective theoretical method for the fabrication, development and construction of high-birefringence photonic crystal fiber.

Full text
Abstract:
A novel physical tuning mechanism for optical fiber filters is proposed and studied. To explore tuning mechanisms, a theoretical model of a Sole birefringent fiber filter is described. The coherency equation of motion for a birefringent filter is solved by transforming to the Stokes-Mueller matrix equation via the measurable Stokes parameters. The Mueller matrix is then expanded in a Taylor series using the generators of the Lorentz transformations. The Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices provide a theoretical formalism which is used to simulate an experimental set-up and to describe the transmission of light through a birefringent fiber filter system. Hence, the theoretical expression for the transmission spectra incident on a detector is derived. This expression is then transformed to the more convenient fourier series form. This form is used to determine the particular type of perturbation necessary to tune a filter. Specifically, a tuning mechanism utilizing twist birefringence is proposed and analyzed. Moreover, we show using theoretical and computer simulation studies that twist birefringence tunes a filter spectra over a narrow but usable range, provided each stage in the filter is twisted at the same rate. For example, a twist birefringence of 85.7 rad/m generated a 42.8 nm tuning range on the filter spectra of a three-stage Sole-type fiber filter when each optical fiber stage is linearly birefringent with a beat length of 18.94 mm at 1282 nm.

Full text
Abstract:
The effect of a randomly oriented birefringence on soliton interaction is studied numerically. The random variation in birefringence in linearly birefringent fibers is modeled by random shift in orientation of the birefringence axes and a random phase difference between the pulse amplitudes in the two polarizations which occurs periodically. Analytical calculations show that the averaged behavior is governed by the Manakov equation.1 The evolution of a pair of solitons with an initial pulse separation T0 ranging from 2τ to 70τ is studied, where T is the soliton pulse width. It is observed that for T0 < 10τ, the interaction is dominated by the phase-dependent short range interaction. The randomly varying birefringence leads to breakup of a two-soliton pair that is originally in phase. For T0 > 10τ, the solitons interact through the dispersive radiation that is generated by the random birefringence, but the interaction is too weak to explain the phase independent long-range interaction observed experimentally.3

Full text
Abstract:
The nonlinear polarization changes of an intense pump wave in optical birefringent fibers [1, 2] may substantially affect the parametric gain spectra of a frequency detuned signal. Although this effect is important for several applications involving birefringent fibers in fiber lasers and switches, earlier analyses of parametric gain have been restricted to cases where no pump polarization rotation occurs [3]-[7]. In fact, only the cases where the input polarisation of the pump beam is coupled on either one of the birefringence axes, or equally split between the axes of a high-birefringence fiber, were considered. We present here the full pump-power dependence of the modulational gain spectra for an arbitrary input polarization state of the pump with respect to the birefringence axes. We believe that the present analysis is crucial for a proper description of the experimental results [8]-[10] and for assessing the practical applicability of the modulational instability gain for all-optical processing devices.

Abstract:
When birefringence induced through the optical Kerr effect in an unperturbed, weakly birefringent fiber is comparable with the natural fiber birefringence, polarization instability and asymmetry between the fast and slow fiber axes arise. A signature of the instability is that small changes in input intensity may result in large changes in intensity transmitted through a crossed polarizer at the fiber exit, leading to the possibility of substantial amplitude modulation (AM) gain.

It is well known that the addition of intracavity birefringence elements in solid-state laser resonators can lead to significant modification of the mode characteristics when thermal birefringence in the laser rod is significant. We have developed a theoretical model of the birefringent laser to analyze this class of problems and have used it to derive the spatial and polarization properties of a cw-pumped Nd:YAG laser operating with intracavity birefringent elements for frequency doubling. In particular, the effects of a type II SHG crystal (KTP) and a fundamental quarterwave plate in a configuration described previously have been studied and compared with the experimental results.

Full text
Abstract:
A lightwave propagating parallel to an applied magnetic field in a dielectric medium will experience a rotation of its plane of polarization by an amount given by θ = VHL. Here V is the Verdet constant, H is the magnetic field strength, and L is the length of the medium. This effect, known as Faraday rotation, is the basis for the operation of magnetooptic current sensors which use optical fibers as the dielectric medium. It is also known through the work of Maker, Terhune, and Savage that an intense elliptically polarized lightwave in a nonlinear dielectric will suffer a rotation of its vibrational ellipse as a result of the intensity-dependent refractive index. Each of these rotatory effects is drastically influenced by the presence of linear birefringence which quenches the rotatory power in the Faraday effect and leads to polarization instabilities in ellipse rotation. In this paper we present a coupled mode theory that yields exact solutions for the interaction between Faraday rotation, ellipse rotation, and linear birefringence in a nonlinear dielectric. The theory shows that competition between the linear and circular birefringences leads to the formation of kink (topological) solitons. One practical result of the theory is that ellipse rotation can be used to enhance the sensitivity of magnetooptic current sensors that rely on Faraday rotation in birefringent fibers.

Abstract:
Intensity-dependent polarization effects in birefringent optical fibers have been used by several workers to achieve pulse shaping and intensity discrimination. In that application, the low intensity parts of a pulse transmitted through the fiber are blocked by an output polarizer while the high intensity part, which undergoes nonlinear polarization rotation, is transmitted. We recently reported a theory of this effect which shows that for fibers with well-defined principal axes, nonlinear polarization changes cannot occur if the input polarization is along a principal axis and the intensity is below the critical value for the fast axis instability. Experimentally, it has been noted that the virtually unavoidable twists present in any real fiber play an important role in determining the output polarization state. In this paper we present a theory of intensity-dependent polarization changes in twisted birefringent fibers. The theory takes into account the twist-induced circular birefringence and shows that twist can enhance the nonlinear transmission of fiber-optic devices that rely on nonlinear birefringence.
