»It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data.»
– Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
In this section you will find my scientific works, such as peer-reviewed articles, peer-reviewed talks at international conferences, patents, and university lectures. In the miscellaneous publications area I have compiled a set of my works which never were subject to formal peer-reviewing, as well as any poster presentations.
Please notice that several of my articles in theoretical physics are accompanyied by simulators which you can find in the computer programs section. In particular, the MagBragg program has been used extensively in most of my papers on gyrotropic Bragg gratings, the Poincare program in generation of maps of the evolution of the Stokes vector on the Poincaré sphere, and the MopaGras program for investigation of parametric interactions in gratings.
