Systems capable of acquiring polarimetry data using a single camera with or without a polarizing filter. When a polarizing filter is used, the data acquisition method comprises: (1) maneuvering the aircraft (or other vehicle) to orient the polarizing filter (and camera) in various directions when...
A method for decoding decodable indicia includes sensing the polarization of light from a plurality of orientations in connection with the decodable indicia, and controlling at least one of energizing an illumination subsystem based on the sensed polarization indicating a generally randomly polarized ...
Orientation and methods of communication of the honey bee and its sensitivity to the polarization of the light. Thorpe,WH. Nature . 1949Thorpe WH (1949) Orientation and methods of communication of the honey bee and its sensitivity to the polarization of the light. Nature 164:11...
In 2003, the African dung beetle Scarabaeus zambesianus was shown to navigate usingpolarization patternsin moonlight, making it the first animal known to use polarized moonlight for orientation. In 2013, it was shown that dung beetles can navigate when only theMilky Wayorclusters of bright star...

Most biomolecular QM/MM work in recent decades has used so-called ‘electronic embedding’, where the protein environment of the core QM region is represented as a set of point charges, that can polarize the core. The environment can undergo some ‘polarization’ by the core through movement ...
Polarization light microscopy is another useful tool when examining the morphology and structure of fat crystals present in an emulsion sample [13]. 3.4.2. Confocal laser scanning microscopy The confocal laser scanning microscope was developed to overcome the limitations of the traditional wide-field ...
Electromagnetic radiation propagates in materials at a speed that is usually lower than the speed of light in vacuum, measured by the refractive index of the material. Some materials show not only one but two different speeds that depend on the polarization of the light. These materials are sai...
In one exemplary embodiment, a method comprises transmitting an optical signal via the optical line, measuring a relative change in spectral intensity of the optical signal near a clock frequency (or half of that frequency) while varying a polarization of the optical signal between a first state ...
Gold nanoparticle-based optical sensing is described for the SERS detection of cancer cells. Polarization-dependent SERS and gap-enhanced Raman scattering characteristics are demonstrated to achieve the highly selective and sensitive nanoprobe. We also review practical applications of plasmonic metal ...
