▪ Abstract The field of optical and infrared (IR) interferometry has seen rapid technical and
scientific progress over the past few years. A number of instruments capable of precise …

Publisher Summary The wave function of a quantum system can exhibit a phase shift when
the parameters of the system undergo a cyclic change. This phase shift is known as the …

Progress in the field of superconductivity is often linked to the discovery of new classes of
materials, with the layered copper oxides being a particularly impressive example. The …

The coupling between a turbulence-distorted optical beam and a single-mode waveguide is
addressed. The coupling efficiency and the coupled phase are derived, both without …

This paper provides a derivation from first principles of the stringent symmetry and stability
requirements which deep stellar nulling demands, and also includes a brief status report on …

A simple method of nulling broadband light is presented. A mirror-symmetric pair of right-
angle periscopes is first used to introduce a geometric field flip between two incident light …

The detection of faint companions to bright stars requires the development of very-high-
contrast-ratio detection techniques such as nulling interferometry. Here we present, to our …

The number of indirectly detected planetary systems around nearby stars has grown
tremendously since their initial discovery five years ago. But the direct observation of light …

We exploit a technique, based on nonlinear optimization, to design diffractive lenses that
focus optical nulls without any phase singularities. To ensure ease of fabrication, these …
