Measuring the alignment of polarized radio sources requires comparing vectors at different locations on the sky, i.e. on a sphere. A test of alignment is derived herein. While both large scale and coordinate independent, the test avoids the…
We consider the inverse scattering problem associated with any number of interacting modes in one-dimensional structures. The coupling between the modes is contradirectional in addition to codirectional, and may be distributed continuously…
High resolution spectra from the Hinode EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) have revealed that coronal spectral line profiles are sometimes asymmetric, with a faint enhancement in the blue wing on the order of 100 km/s. These asymmetries could…
In ground-based astronomy, starlight distorted by the atmosphere couples poorly into single-mode waveguides but a correction by adaptive optics, even if only partial, can boost coupling into the few-mode regime allowing the use of photonic…
Loss compensation via inserting gain is of fundamental importance in different branches of photonics, nanoplasmonics, and metamaterial science. This effect has found an impressive implementation in the parity-time symmetric (PT-symmetric)…

We show that PT-symmetry may exist only for isolated frequencies in optical systems. Therefore, PT-symmetry breaking transitions as the frequency is tuned up, discussed in Y. D. Chong, L. Ge, and A. D. Stone, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 093902…

In nature, estimating the location of a molecule source in turbulent airflow is a central, and yet highly challenging problem for mate search and foraging. Recently, it has also received increasing attention in synthetic molecular…
We present an adaptation of the rotation-corrected, m-averaged spectrum technique designed to observe low signal-to-noise-ratio, low-frequency solar p modes. The frequency shift of each of the 2l+1 m spectra of a given (n,l) multiplet is…
A periodic arrangement of one-dimensional slits carved in perfect electric conductor is investigated and an equivalent model based on the effective medium theory is derived. The proposed model is no longer fully homogeneous and features…
Short review of recent results on surface scattering in many-mode waveguides is presented. Main attention is paid to various mechanisms of surface scattering, and to the role of specific long-range correlations in surface profiles.
We derive expressions and develop a numerical technique for the analysis of the line profile moment variations for stars pulsating in oblique non-radial modes. This represents an extension of the widely used spectroscopic moment mode…
We design and optimize a waveguide structure consisted of three segments of PT-symmetric coupler. It can amplify the difference mode with the attenuation of the sum mode, so performs an asymmetric optical amplifier. Also, the dependence of…
The high mass X-ray binary Cep X-4, during its 2014 outburst, showed evidence for an asymmetric cyclotron line in its hard X-ray spectrum. The 2014 spectrum provides one of the clearest cases of an asymmetric line profile among all studied…
