Polarization entanglement with graded-index lenses
By using an optical device based on the integration of a graded-index (GRIN) rod lens and a single-mode optical fiber we efficiently collected photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down-con...

Effect of polarization on spectral switches in the diffraction of stochastic electromagnetic beams
We consider the stochastic electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) beam and show that the polarization of stochastic electromagnetic EGSM beams in the source plane affect spectral switches of dif...

Mode-dependent shifts of resonant frequencies of cavities in liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated planar photonic crystals (PhC) are experimentally observed when the temperature is varied across the LC ordering transition. The shifts can be in opposite directions, even for two very similar nearly degenerate modes. The behavior is attributed to the different interactions of the modes with the two components of the refractive index of the LC infill and directly demonstrates that at least a substantial amount of the LC is oriented perpendicular to the PhC-hole axis. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
