Figure 1: Acousto-optic devices principles and Brillouin–Mandelstam scattering processes in uniaxial birefringent crystal. As in an optically anisotropic crystal up to four Brillouin processes are ...

Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) microscopy is a promising approach for high-resolution biological imaging but has so far been limited to use with low-magnification, ...

These liquid crystal cubic phases are isotropic, or so to say, do not have any birefringent properties, which means that if a slide with a layer of lyotropic liquid crystal films is placed under a ...

Birefringence based light modulator that works in the wavelength region of < 350 nm plays a vital role in DUV beam shaping, high density data storage, semiconductor micro-nano processing and ...

When a calcite crystal is placed onto a printed page, the letters appear doubled. This is the result of a property called birefringence. A new material that is among the most birefringent solids ever ...

Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared imaging, laser technology, and optical communications. Due to limitations ...

This news release is available in German. Nothing could be simpler: a drop of blood is placed on a special carrier substance; after a wait of a few minutes, the slide is placed on a device that emits ...
