This engineering/optics study examines focusing properties of a radially polarized beam interacting with gold metal cubes arranged along the beam propagation direction. It reports >20d7 electric field enhancement between two cubes separated by bb/10 on the optical axis, linked to a strong…

This engineering study describes a method to improve the sensitivity of Faraday-effect-based heterodyning fiber laser sensors for magnetic field measurement. It reports an inverse relationship between magnetic-field sensitivity and intra-cavity linear birefringence, supported by theory and…

This engineering study reports theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration of an S-tapered optical microfiber integrated with ferrofluid for magnetic-field tunability. The transmission spectrum and dip wavelengths were found to vary with magnetic-field intensity, with a Langevin-like…

This engineering study describes using antenna-coupled microwave radiation to enhance laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) emission from a Gd2O3 sample at reduced pressure. The authors report substantially increased plasma emission intensity, higher-temperature plasma, and longer emission…

This engineering study examines how the spectral mismatch between mobile phone flash LEDs and modern display gamuts influences smartphone camera color reproduction. Using a CIECAM02-based metric and an evaluation method grounded in raw camera data and a Digital ColorChecker SG, the authors propose…

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental demonstration of a photonic RF phase shifter based on a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator using a two-drive scheme. The approach aims to mitigate residual optical carrier effects and avoid a lowest-frequency limitation from an optical filter by…

This occupational exposure assessment monitored surgeons during 11 surgeries using monopolar electro surgery units and measured electric and magnetic field strengths during cutting and coagulating modes. Electric fields near the cable at 10 cm were reported in the hundreds of V/m, while magnetic…

This paper proposes a reversible approach to tune Mie scattering resonances in random media using external low induction magnetic fields. The experimental demonstration uses ultrasound in emulsions of fluorinated ferrofluid droplets dispersed in a Bingham fluid. Magnetic-field-induced droplet…

This experimental study measured the electric field inside a plasma channel formed during a high-pressure nanosecond discharge in hydrogen using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The authors report root-mean-square electric field intensities up to 30 kV/cm in the plasma channel. Polarization…

This paper analyzes compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with an external strong guide magnetic field using signed measure analysis. In simulations varying ion skin depth to modulate the Hall term, increasing the Hall term is reported to reduce the fractal dimension of current and…

This laboratory study examined Rayleigh-Bénard convection in liquid gallium under varying strengths of a uniform imposed horizontal magnetic field. Using ultrasonic velocity profiling and temperature monitoring, the authors mapped a regime diagram across Ra and Q and identified five flow regimes.…

This study models nematic liquid crystals embedded in random polymer networks, where disorder disrupts long-range order and produces a glassy state. It uses simulations and an Imry-Ma-like analytic approach to visualize domains, predict domain size, and calculate the response to an applied…

This paper presents a theoretical model of a single ferromagnetic particle with finite coupling between its magnetic moment and particle body in a rotating magnetic field. It describes synchronous and asynchronous motion regimes, including planar motion at low frequencies and a precession regime…

This study evaluated combined bipolar radiofrequency surgery of the tongue base (RFBT) with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in a single session for obstructive sleep apnea, compared with UPPP alone. The combined procedure was associated with improvements in AHI, ODI, sleepiness, and snoring,…

This paper investigates, in an interneuronal network model, how a steady DC electric field induced by magnetic stimulation affects network coherence and synchronization. The authors report that coherence can exhibit a peak or plateau across a defined range of induced field values. Effects varied…

This animal study tested whether pre-exposure to microwave radiation from a GSM mobile phone simulator could induce a radioadaptive response to a subsequent lethal whole-body gamma dose. In mice, pre-exposure to microwave radiation, low dose rate gamma radiation, or both was associated with…
