Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

827
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

39.2K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

6.1K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Induced Electric Dipoles01:28

Induced Electric Dipoles

4.9K
A permanent electric dipole orients itself along an external electric field. This rotation can be quantified by defining the potential energy because the external torque does work in rotating it. Then, the potential energy is minimum at the parallel configuration and maximum at the antiparallel configuration. While the former is a stable equilibrium, the latter is an unstable equilibrium.
Since the absolute value of potential energy holds no physical meaning, its zero value can be chosen as per...

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Higher-order-mode (HOM) fibers are essential for high-power laser applications due to their large effective areas (Aeff).
    • Polarization-maintaining (PM) capabilities are desirable for advanced applications like coherent beam combination and polarization multiplexing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a novel polarization-maintaining higher-order-mode (PM-HOM) fiber.
    • To demonstrate its capability in guiding Bessel-like modes with a large effective area.
    • To evaluate its polarization properties for practical high-power laser systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication and characterization of a novel PM-HOM fiber.
    • Measurement of effective area (Aeff) for guided Bessel-like modes.
    • Quantification of fiber birefringence and polarization extinction ratio (PER) over meter-long lengths.

    Main Results:

    • The PM-HOM fiber successfully guides Bessel-like modes with Aeff ranging from 1200 to 2800 μm².
    • The fiber exhibits a birefringence comparable to conventional single-mode PM fibers (2×10⁻⁴).
    • A polarization extinction ratio (PER) between 13-23 dB was achieved over meter-long fiber sections.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PM-HOM fiber is a promising platform for next-generation high-power fiber laser systems.
    • It enables deterministic control of polarized Bessel-like modes, beneficial for fundamental studies and applications.
    • The fiber's properties are suitable for practical amplifier systems requiring polarization preservation.
