Quasi-in-plane leaky modes in lasing cholesteric liquid crystal cells
Using a planar cell consisting of a prism and a flat glass, we have carried out precise measurements of the angles at which quasi-in-plane leaky (QIPL) laser modes propagate within a thin layer of a c...

The evaluation of different surface coatings used in alkali metal atomic magnetometers is necessary for the improvement of sensitivity of these devices. A method to measure the polarization lifetime of alkali atoms in the region between substrates with different coatings was developed to determine the effectiveness of the coating at preserving alkali spin polarization as well as chemical compatibility and high-temperature stability. Multiple coatings can be compared under identical experimental conditions, using an experimental geometry that allows surface characterization before and after evaluation of the polarization lifetime. Multilayered, cross-linked octadecyltrichlorosilane films, alkyltrichlorosilane monolayers, and octadecylphosphonic acid monolayers were evaluated using this approach. ©2008 American Institute of Physics
