Cross-linked esterified starch (CES) was prepared using a one-step method, where maize starch was selected as the raw material, sodium trimetaphosphate as the cross-linking agent, and acetic anhydride as the esterifying agent, respectively. A response su...

Highly crystalline, organic-solvent-dispersible titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods (NRs) present promising chemicophysical properties in many diverse applications. In this paper, based on a modified procedure from literature, TiO2 NRs were synthesized via ...

A liquid crystal (LC) layer that is too thick exhibits a small terahertz birefringence due to the limited long-range force of the alignment layers that exert on it. An LC layer that is too thin has a small terahertz birefringence due to its invisibility ...

Delay-based reservoir computing (RC), a neuromorphic computing technique, has gathered lots of interest, as it promises compact and high-speed RC implementations. To further boost the computing speeds, we introduce and study an RC setup based on spin-VCS...

A method which utilizes a Kerr phase-interrogator to measure the group birefringence dispersion (GBD) of a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) is systematically studied in this paper. The differential group delay of two sinusoidally modulated optical si...

The detection of early stages of caries is still one of the major challenges in preservative dentistry. Since it is known from polarized light microscopy (PLM) that intrinsic enamel birefringence is affected by demineralization, polarization-sensitive op...

In this paper, we propose a novel design of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with tellurite-cladding, three rings of air-holes and elliptical concentration of As2S3 in the fiber core. The combined effect of tight mode confinement (an effective mode area of...
