The Tunable Magnetograph (TuMag) is one of the three post-focus instruments onboard the
SUNRISE III mission. It consists of a one-meter aperture telescope onboard a balloon within …

Due to the physical anisotropic and self-assembling nature, liquid crystalline materials
holdvery important place in theoretical, experimental and applied physics. Besides, liquid …

In the presented work, the possibility of controlling laser generation using a nematic liquid
crystal (NLC) in a hybrid layered structure consisting of a thin metal layer (Ag), a layer of …

Liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) will be used in the polarization modulation
packages (PMPs) of the instruments SO/PHI (Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager) and …

GW detectors are ultimately limited by thermal noise in their most sensitive region.
Cryogenic operation combined with crystalline substrates and coatings is a promising …

Since liquid crystal molecules exhibit anisotropic absorption in the infrared region, there is
concern about changes in the diffraction properties of polarization gratings (PGs) made of …

We present the design of a point-and-shoot non-imaging full-Stokes spectropolarimeter
dedicated to detecting life on Earth from an orbiting platform like the ISS. We specifically aim …

Liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) will be used for the first time in a space instrument,
the Solar Orbiter mission of the European Space Agency, as polarization states analyzers …

Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) are electro-optical devices based on liquid crystal (LC)
properties. One of the most common type is the reflective LC on a ship display, where the LC …

In Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), the emitter and receiver need to share an optical
quantum channel-which can be optical fibre, terrestrial free-space or space-based links-to …
