A coded-aperture technique allowing x-ray phase contrast imaging with conventional sources
Phase contrast imaging (PCI) solves the basic limitation of x-ray imaging, i.e., poor image contrast resulting from small absorption differences. Up to now, it has been mostly limited to synchrotron r...

The authors demonstrate a flux locking technique using injected heat current to linearize the output of a superfluid helium-4 interferometer. A rotation flux through the interferometer loop produces a shift in the phase of the superfluid order parameter. This shift is nullified via negative feedback by a phase shift caused by the injected heat current. The feedback signal is then a linear function of rotation flux. ©2007 American Institute of Physics

  7. In practice, there always exist trapped vortices in the cell, which make n nonzero. This merely adds a constant phase offset to the argument of Fgamma in Eq. (2).
