Abstract Full Poincaré beams (FPBs) are proposed for polarimetric applications. Such
beams present all states of totally polarized light across their transverse section at once and …

Aims. The goal of this work is to characterize the polarization effects of the beam path of the
Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) and the GRAVITY beam combiner instrument …

A typical implementation of BB84 protocol for quantum communication uses four laser
diodes for transmitting weak coherent pulses, which may not have the same characteristics …

There has been considerable interest in the nonlinear optical phenomenon in recent years,
particularly in two-dimensional materials. Here, we study the optical polarization quantities …

In this Letter, we present a new, to the best of our knowledge, design for elliptical retarders
based on two quarter-wave retarders with an angle offset, which is particularly well suited for …

The use of spirally polarized beams (SPBs) in polarimetric measurements of homogeneous
and deterministic samples is proposed. Since across any transverse plane such beams …

Polarization hyperspectral compressive imaging has wide application prospects due to
reflecting rich information of the target from the spatial, spectral and polarization dimensions …

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 …

The emerging polarization states from a linearly polarized monochromatic light passing
through a rotating linear quarter-wave plate have been characterized as the intersection …

We investigate the effect of oblique magnetic field configurations on a singly charged self-
assembled quantum dot system as a means to tune the spin composition of the ground …
