The current interest of the electromagnetic engineering community in chiral media was
stimulated by Jaggard et al.[11] through the publication of their paper in 1979. They used …

We propose a new measurement procedure to study the role of magnetic-dipole
contributions to the second-order nonlinearity in chiral materials. The procedure is based on …

In linear optics, chiral molecules are known for their ability to rotate the plane of polarization
of linearly polarized light that propagates through a sample of the chiral material. Other …

In our manuscript, we carry out the Mueller matrix polarimetry for the characterization of
wood and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon flat samples. Polarization measurements …

Chiral materials are known for possessing optical activity even though the bulk structure is
isotropic. 1, 2 Optical activity is typically quantified through measurements of the …

Abstract UV-VIS-NIR Mueller matrix polarimeters are virtually non-existent due to the scarce
availability of optical components performing optimally in such a broad waveband. A …

This thesis presents the first complete experimental study of chiral composite materials at
microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The samples prepared are artificial chiral …

Nonuniformly polarized light can be used for Mueller polarimetry of homogeneous linear
samples. In this work, a set up based on using azimuthally polarized input light and a …

We study experimentally the polarisation of an asymptotically linearly polarized focused
Gaussian beam. Around the focal point the polarization state is elliptical even though optical …
