20 Photonics terms

... is justifiable in most situations
phrase
we can state something for many cases
Example: This assumption is justifiable in most situations source: 8

birefringence
noun
the splitting of a light ray, generally by a crystal, into two components that travel at different velocities and are polarized at right angles to each other
Example: The real part leads to birefringence, whereas the imaginary part reflects the absorption of photons caused by the production of particle-antiparticle pairs. Source: 2

by orders of magnitude
phrase
In mathematics, if one amount is an order of magnitude larger than another, it is ten times larger than the other. If it is two orders of magnitude larger, it is a hundred times larger.
Example: More recently, improvements in sample growth technology have increased the exciton-polariton lifetime by orders of magnitude, and the ballistic propagation of spin signals can proceed over hundreds of micrometers with minimal scattering. source: 3
en: На порядок
contaminated
adj
when something is polluted
Example: we perform an agnostic approach to identify harmonic candidates that may have a single contaminated frequency bin or follow a power-law dependence. source: 10
en: загрязненный
gauge field
Сlass of quantum field theory, a mathematical theory involving both quantum mechanics and Einstein’s special theory of relativity that is commonly used to describe subatomic particles and their associated wave fields.
Example: Since this is limited in many samples, alternative mechanisms of artificial gauge fields for polaritons are important. Source: 4

inversely scales with
phrase
in inverse proportion to
Example: ...the power of the shift inversely scales with the order of degeneracy of the system... source: 5
en: Обратно пропорционально
is given by
phrase
it is established by something
Example: ...and the topological classification is given by that of well-studied static systems. source: 4
en: задается
merger
noun
when two holes are starting to become one
Example: and produced by the merger of two black holes. source: 9
en: слияние
Node
noun
An interconnection point on a network
Example: To create the network of nodes we make use of the possibility to spatially pattern the potential V (r) of exciton polaritons. Source: 3

Oscillations die out
phrase
If something dies out, it becomes less and less common and eventually disappears completely.
Example: The oscillations die out for nonvanishing kx... source: 2
en: Колебания угасают
parity
noun
the property of the system to be the same with regards to a center
Example: PT-symmetric continuous elastic media source: 6
power flux
noun+noun
secretion of energy during a process
Example: On the other hand, the associated power flux Fγ is quite faint depending on the source distance with respect to the Earth. source: 8
en: Выделение энергии
PT-symmetry
phrase
parity- time symmetry (P*T) = constant
Example: In particular, we first investigate 1D elastic waveguides featuring a PT symmetric pair of ground springs with complex stiffnesses, and illustrate how a large number of exceptional points naturally appear in their vibrational spectra. source: 6
putative particles
adjective + noun
Hypothetical particles. They probably exist, although have not been found so far.
Example: Traditionally, the detection methods are based on low noise power detection techniques, where one searches for excess photon power created by the interaction process between photons and these putative particles. Source: 5
en: гипотетическая частица
reciprocal coupling
adj+noun
when two objects interact with each other and their properties depend on this interaction
Example: For simplicity we will consider the case of reciprocal coupling, implying κ12 = κ21. source: 7
en: взаимная связь
sth is arose out of studies ...
phrase
an idea appeared from studies
Example: Interest in this subject resulted in the need to find an indirect means of measuring gravitationalwaves and also arose out of studies considering axion-photon mixing source: 9
en: идея родилась из статей
Superfluidity
noun
The ability of a quantum fluid to flow without friction.
Example: Since its first discovery in liquid helium-4, superfluidity has been observed in quite different systems. Source: 1
en: Сверхтекучесть
Thanks to...
phrase
because of something
Example: Thanks to their sharp dispersion, polaritons... source:1
en: За счет / благодаря
The kinds of searches that ...
phrase
meaning that there is a range of possible approaches to this issue
Example: The kinds of searches that can be conducted with the Holometer are shaped by the fact that the time domain data was not stored; source: 10
en: виды возможных исследований
to be shown to exhibit
phrase
somebody demonstrated that something has certain properties
Example: In De Carlo et al. (2019b), an indirectly coupled anti‐parity‐time‐symmetric gyroscope has been shown to exhibit enhanced sensitivity with respect to classical Sagnac‐based optical gyroscopes source: 7
