Measurement of optical properties of skin is an expanding and growing field of research. Recent studies have shown that the biological tissue, especially skin changes the polarization state of the incident light. Using this property will enable the study of abnormalities and diseases that alter not only the light intensity but also its polarization state. We have tried an experimental study for measuring changes of polarization state of the light scattered from skin sample. Using the strokes vector and Mueller matrix notation we have shown that some elements of matrix were sensitive to the changes of the polarization when physical properties of the scatters are changed with sample.

The structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of AuAl 2, AuGa 2, AuIn 2, and PtGa2 are reviewed. These experimental results are compared with the values of the density of states at the Fermi level derived from band-structure calculations. The so-called “ AuGa 2 dilemma” and the controversial positions of the Au 5d bands in AuAl 2, AuGa 2, and AuIn 2 are discussed. The physical properties of PtGa 2 are summarized and compared with those of the Au intermetallic compounds. Recent researches on the growth and characterization of these compounds in thin-film form are also presented.

An InGaN/GaN-based photodetector with nano-structure on the surface is present. Surface nano-structure was formed by nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and reactive ion etching (RIE) techniques. The NIL technique and nano-structure etching by employing RIE were demonstrated in details. The nano-pattern was designed as regular triangles consisting of columns, whose diameter and period were around 105 and 210 nm, respectively. The height of nano-columns was around 66 nm. The photo-voltage of this type of photodetector had very good wave characteristics with 60° period, and it presented different waveform at different angles and wavelengths of incident light. The periodic characteristics took not only on minimum voltage but also peak voltage. We demonstrated this characteristic by employing Bragg formulation.

We enhanced the resolution characteristics of a threedimensional (3D) image using time-division multiplexing methods in a full-parallax multi-view 3D display. A time-division light-ray shifting (TDLS) method is proposed that uses two polarization gratings (PGs). As PG changes the diffraction direction of light rays according to the polarization state of the incident light, this method can shift light rays approximately 7 mm in a diagonal direction by switching the polarization state of incident light and adjusting the distance between the PGs. We verified the effect on the characteristics of 3D images based on the extent of the shift. As a result, the resolution of a 3D image with depth is improved by shifting half a pitch of a multi-view image using the TDLS method, and the resolution of the image displayed near the screen is improved by shifting half a pixel of each viewpoint image with a wobbling method. These methods can easily enhance 3D characteristics with a small number of projectors.

Clouds in the tropics have an important role in the energy budget, atmospheric circulation, humidity, and composition of the tropical-to-global upper-troposphere–lower-stratosphere. Due to its non-sun-synchronous orbit, the Cloud–Aerosol Transport System (CATS) onboard the International Space Station (ISS) provided novel information on clouds from space in terms of overpass time in the period of 2015–2017. In this paper, we provide a seasonally resolved comparison of CATS characterization of high clouds (between 13 and 18 km altitude) in the tropics with well-established CALIPSO (Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) data, both in terms of clouds’ occurrence and cloud optical properties (optical depth). Despite the fact that cloud statistics for CATS and CALIOP are generated using intrinsically different local overpass times, the characterization of high clouds occurrence and optical properties in the tropics with the two instruments is very similar. Observations from CATS underestimate clouds occurrence (up to 80%, at 18 km) and overestimate the occurrence of very thick clouds (up to 100% for optically very thick clouds, at 18 km) at higher altitudes. Thus, the description of stratospheric overshoots with CATS and CALIOP might be different. While this study hints at the consistency of CATS and CALIOP clouds characterizaton, the small differences highlighted in this work should be taken into account when using CATS for estimating cloud properties and their variability in the tropics.

AbstractThe organic magnetoelectric complexes are beneficial for the development on flexible magnetoelectric devices in the future. In this work, we fabricated all organic multiferroic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complexes to study magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. Under the stimulus of external magnetic field, the localization of charge inside organic ferromagnets will be enhanced to affect spin–dipole interaction at organic multiferroic interfaces, where overall ferroelectric polarization is tuned to present an organic magnetoelectric coupling. Moreover, the magnetoelectric coupling of the organic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complex is tightly dependent on incident light intensity. Decreasing light intensity, the dominated interfacial interaction will switch from spin–dipole to dipole–dipole interaction, which leads to the magnetoelectric coefficient changing from positive to negative in organic multiferroic magnetoelectric complexes.
