The scintillation indices of optical plane and spherical waves propagating in underwater turbulent media are evaluated by using the Rytov method, and the variations in the scintillation indices are investigated when the rate of dissipation of mean squared temperature, the temperature and salinity fluctuations, the pro…

Log-amplitude and phase correlations of general-type beams are formulated in atmospheric turbulence. A general beam is described as the superposition of many sets of multimode contents, each mode being off-axis Hermite-Gaussian. Since the Rytov solution is utilized, the formulas are valid in the weakly turbulent regim…

AIMS: Our aim was to evaluate the elasticity features of the optic nerve using strain (SE) and shear wave elastography (SWE) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in comparison with healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and seven optic nerves from 54 MS patients and 118 optic nerves from 59 healthy subject…

Review discusses some special questions of physics of composite media (metamaterials), which are formed by elements made from natural materials of two kinds. The first ones are “carriers of permittivity” and are presented by plasma-like media and semiconductors. The second ones are “carriers of permeability”—they are…

A new acousto-optical holographic display device, which is expected to solve the display resolution and refresh problems that are common to available holographic displays, is proposed. The device is based on the reproduction of a hologram as a surface pattern using traveling surface acoustic waves (SAWs). There is an…

On the basis of the unified theory of coherence and polarization, we investigate the behavior of the state of polarization of a stochastic electromagnetic beam in a Gaussian cavity. Formulations both in terms of Stokes parameters and in terms of polarization ellipse are given. We show that the state of polarization st…

The scintillation index of higher order laser beams is examined when such beams propagate in anisotropic atmospheric turbulence. Anisotropy is introduced through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence. The scintillation index results are obtained by employing the Rytov method solution; thus the results are valid for we…

Intensity fluctuations of asymmetrical optical beams are examined when such beams propagate through anisotropic turbulence. Anisotropic turbulence is modeled by non-Kolmogorov von Kármán spectrum. The variations of the scintillation index are observed against the changes in the asymmetry factor of the Gaussian beam, p…

The optical properties of Tl 4 InGa 3 S 8 layered single crystals have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength region between 400 and 1100 nm. The analysis of the room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band…
