In electrodynamics, elliptical polarization is the polarization of electromagnetic radiation such that the tip of the electric field vector describes an ellipse in any fixed plane intersecting, and normal to, the direction of propagation. An elliptically polarized wave may be resolved into two linearly polarized waves in phase quadrature, with their polarization planes at right angles to each other. Since the electric field can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise as it propagates, elliptically polarized waves exhibit chirality.

InactiveUS7660533B1Secret communicationPhotonic quantum communicationData compressionHadamard transform
A method of data compression and transmission include splitting a wave function representative of an input data set into an arbitrarily oriented elliptical polarization state and a comparator wave function state, the comparator wave function state being transmitted to a detector. A quantum Fourier transform is performed on the arbitrarily oriented elliptical polarization state to yield a quantum computational product. A quantum Hadamard transform is performed on the quantum computational product to yield one of two possible quantum particle outputs. The input data set is reconstructed based upon the coincident arrival of the comparator wave function state and one of the two quantum particle outputs. A method is performed on either a quantum computer or a digital computer. An optical bench with appropriate electronics is particularly well suited to function as a quantum computer for the compression and transmission of data corresponding to sound.

Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an optical sampler having an illumination subsystem, adapted to communicate light having a first polarization to a tissue surface; a collection subsystem, adapted to collect light having a second polarization communicated from the tissue after interaction with the tissue; wherein the first polarization is different from the second polarization. The difference in the polarizations can discourage collection of light specularly reflected from the tissue surface, and can encourage preferential collection of light that has interacted with a desired depth of penetration or path length distribution in the tissue. The different polarizations can, as examples, be linear polarizations with an angle between, or elliptical polarizations of different handedness.

An elliptically polarized (EP) dielectric block antenna comprises a linearly polarized (LP) dielectric block antenna and a wave polarizer integrated with the LP dielectric block antenna. The wave polarizer converts the LP wave of the LP dielectric block antenna into an EP wave or a circularly polarized (CP) wave. The wave polarizer is directly integrated with the LP dielectric block antenna by fabricating inclined slots on faces of the dielectric block at an oblique angle to the LP wave direction of polarization. This provides a very compact EP or CP antenna with a broadside or omnidirectional radiation pattern. The EP or CP antenna is excited by an inner conductor of a SubMiniature version A (SMA) connector that can be directly connected to a coaxial line thereby providing a simple feed network for the antenna.

Elongated cross coil assembly for use in borehole location determination
An apparatus and method for measuring the location of one borehole relative to another includes a pair of elongated crossed coils deployed in the first borehole and an instrument containing magnetic field sensors deployed in the second borehole. The crossed coils are energized in quadrature by AC currents producing a rotating, elliptically polarized magnetic field at the second borehole. Mathematical analysis of the magnetic field sensor readings determines the location of the second borehole relative to the first. Both the distance and the rotational direction to the second borehole are determined as a function of depth of the sensors relative to that of the pair of crossed coils. No knowledge or measurement of the rotational orientation of the crossed coil in the first borehole is needed. Any twisting of the long coil in the borehole can be evaluated by noting the relative phase of the received elliptically polarized field as the depth of measurement is varied, and the relative distance between the boreholes and the corrections needed due to such twisting are determined.

The invention discloses a metasurface polarization regulator. The metasurface polarization regulator is composed of five structural layers. The top layer and the bottom layer are period metal micro-structure layers, the middle layer is a metal film layer, and the top layer, the bottom layer and the middle metal layer are separated by the insulating medium layers. The regulator works in a near infrared band, and the whole thickness of a system is far smaller than the working wavelength; the transmission rate of normal incidence electromagnetic waves is higher than 80%; as geometric parameters of the structure and the physical performances of relative materials are adjusted, the whole phase interval of 0-360 degrees can be covered with the phase difference between transmitted waves of an x component and transmitted waves of a y component, and therefore free adjustment of the polarization state of the electromagnetic waves can be achieved; for example, the transmission polarization state of electromagnetic waves transmitted through linear polarization can be transformed into the circular polarization state, the elliptical polarization state or the linear polarization state or even the complete polarization inversion state.
