This paper reviews the current status of instruments for measuring the full 4× 1 Stokes vector
S, which describes the state of polarization (SOP) of totally or partially polarized light, and …

Composite pulse sequences, which produce arbitrary predefined rotations of a qubit on the
Bloch sphere, are presented. The composite sequences contain up to 17 pulses and can …

Composite pulses, originally developed in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), have found
widespread use in experimental quantum information processing (QIP) to reduce the effects …

Composite pulse sequences, which produce arbitrary predefined rotations of a two-state
system at an angle θ on the Bloch sphere, are presented. The composite sequences can …

We theoretically study a technique for a broadband nonreciprocal wave retarder whose
quarter-wave plate phase retardation is the same in forward and backward directions. The …

In this paper, we propose the novel design of terahertz half-wave plate (HWP) by using the
multi-layered metamaterials with some specific rotation angles, which can be given by …

We present a universal design and proof-of-concept of a tunable linear retarder of uniform
wavelength response in a broad spectral range. It consists of two half-wave retarders (HWR) …

Manipulating the polarization orientation of light is essential in modern optics, biology, and
related fields, but the strong optical dispersion inherent in current polarization rotators …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate novel types of composite sequences of half-
wave and quarter-wave polarization retarders, either permitting operation at ultra-broad …

We describe a broadband optical device that is capable of rotating the polarization plane of
a linearly polarized light at any desired angle over a wide range of wavelengths. The device …
