Circular polarization of fast radio bursts by asymmetric erosion in longitudinally magnetized plasma
Da-Chao Deng, Hui-Chun Wu
Magnetars are likely to be the origin of all fast radio bursts. The recent detection of circularly polarized bursts suggests that they might be generated deep inside magnetar magne…

Mechanism of circular polarization in giant pulses and fast radio bursts
Hui-Chun Wu
Some giant pulses and fast radio bursts exhibit notable circular polarization, which remains unexplained and carries significant implications for their emission mechanisms. In this…

Compression and acceleration of ions by ultra-short ultra-intense azimuthally-polarized light
Da-Chao Deng, Hui-Chun Wu
An efficient plasma compression scheme by azimuthally-polarized (AP) light is proposed. An AP light possesses a donut-like intensity pattern, enabling it to compress and accelerate…
