Optical rotary power at the resonance of the Terbium 7F6→5D4 line in Terbium Gallium Garnet
1998
Abstract The Tb 3+ absorption line 7 F 6 → 5 D 4 of the Terbium Gallium Garnet crystal is excited with an Argon ion laser. The Verdet's constant has been determined and reported against 1/ λ 2 , showing no significant resonant behaviour at absorption resonance. The utility and the constraints of the crystal at this particular resonant wavelength are pointed out.
Faraday effect in standard optical fibers: dispersion of the effective Verdet constant
1996
We have measured the Faraday effect in silica standard optical fibers in the wavelength range 458-1523 nm. An effective Verdet constant Vef that exhibits a linear dependence on the square of the optical frequency ν is defined: V(ef) = (0.142 ± 0.004) × 10(-28) ν(2) rad T(-1) m(-1). We demonstrate that the negative effects of a small linear birefringence can be minimized by adjustment of the input polarization to an optimum state.
FERROELECTRIC LIQUID CRYSTAL GLASSES FOR AMBLYOPIA RESEARCH
2008
ABSTRACT Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) filters offer the speed of electronic light shutters and the vibration free operation. These characteristics make them ideal for applications requiring short exposure times and minimal blur, offering switching times of 0.0002 of a second. FLC filters can be used as the optical shutters for machine vision purposes, also in vision research. On the basis of FLC filters we have developed ferroelectric glasses, allowing temporal separation of optical information for both eyes. In the case of amblyopia (“lazy eye”) the only way to oblige the “lazy” eye to work is to close the other better-seeing eye. We advice an appliance for dynamic visual system trai…
