AbstractPatterned cholesteric liquid crystals enable the fabrication of circular-polarization sensitive, reflective diffractive optical elements based on Bragg reflection. Here we report the fabrication of large-angle reflective deflector, which show deflection angles as large as 48.9°. The devices are fabricated by polarization holography, whereby two orthogonal circular polarized beams are superimposed on a photoalignment layer to create a linear modulation of the orientational easy axis. The devices show high circular-polarization extinction ratios, making them potentially useful as functional reflectors and polarization splitters.

X-ray linear dichroism at the iodine K-edge of Polaroid H-sheet is explored with a view to using stretched polymers for X-ray linear-polarization analysis. The potential use of such materials as phase plates for generating elliptically polarized beams is also considered.

The method demonstrated is an adaptation of a proven procedure for accurately determining the magnification of light photomicrographs. Because of the stability of modern electrical lenses, the method is shown to be directly applicable for providing precise reproducibility of magnification in various models of electron microscopes.A readily recognizable area of a carbon replica of a crossed-line diffraction grating is used as a standard. The same area of the standard was photographed in Phillips EM 200, Hitachi HU-11B2, and RCA EMU 3F electron microscopes at taps representative of the range of magnification of each. Negatives from one microscope were selected as guides and printed at convenient magnifications; then negatives from each of the other microscopes were projected to register with these prints. By deferring measurement to the print rather than comparing negatives, correspondence of magnification of the specimen in the three microscopes could be brought to within 2%.
