  • Sergey G. Volotovskiy and
  • Viktor A. Soifer

In this paper, we consider the comparative formation of perfect optical vortices in the non-paraxial mode using various optical elements: non-paraxial and parabolic toroidal vortex lenses, as well as a vortex axicon in combination with a parabolic le...

ƒ(R) Gravity, Relic Coherent Gravitons and Optical Chaos

  • Lawrence B. Crowell and
  • Christian Corda

4 March 2014

We discuss the production of massive relic coherent gravitons in a particular class of ƒ(R) gravity, which arises from string theory, and their possible imprint in the Cosmic Microwave Background. In fact, in the very early Universe, these relic grav...

Optimized Quasi-Optical Mode Converter for TE33,12 in 210 GHz Gyrotron

  • Hamid Sharif,
  • Muhammad Haris Jamil and
  • Wenlong He

6 March 2025

This article discusses the design of a high-performance quasi-optical mode converter for the TE33,12 mode at 210 GHz. The conversion process is challenging due to a caustic-to-cavity radius ratio of approximately 0.41. The mode converter employs an o...
