TECHNICAL PHYSICS;
Findings from E.M. Harutyunyan and co-authors broaden understanding of
technical physics

According to a study from Yerevan, Armenia, "Oblique propagation of
light through a layer of a gyrotropic crystal in an ultrasonic field
in the presence of an external static magnetic field is analyzed."

"The problem is solved using the Ambartsumyan method of addition of
layers. The results of analysis of dependences of amplitude and
polarization characteristics on the wavelength of light are presented
for various values of parameters of the problem," wrote
E.M. Harutyunyan and colleagues (see also Technical Physics).

The researchers concluded: "The possibility of applying such systems
is discussed."

Harutyunyan and colleagues published their study in Technical Physics
(Optical properties of chiral photonic crystals in an external static
magnetic field. Technical Physics, 2009;54(1):95-102).
