Selected configurations provide insights into particle size evolution, soot filaments topology, their probability of appearance, and soot volume fractions. Jet A-1 flame exhibits higher soot loads with longer decay times, indicating larger and more developed particles. In contrast, the Isopar flame shows weak soot signals with nearly constant decay times, suggesting limited particle growth. According to temporally averaged planar LII, significant differences are observed between both flames, in terms of intensity and spatial distribution. In the Isopar flame, apart from the lower observed signal, the spatial distribution is more homogeneous without a clear maximum, making it impossible to distinguish locations where soot formation or oxidation dominate. 2D LII soot filament intermittency is characterized using statistical image-to-image metrics to evaluate soot filaments topology between the two flames. Spectral measurements revealed the presence of interfering fluorescence and provided a means to infer the soot volume fraction in the Jet A-1 flame. These findings underscore the complexity of soot formation in spray flames and the need for multi-scale, time-resolved measurements to characterize these environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"132 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-026-08655-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147829700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that first- and second-order Akhmediev breathers emerge in numerical simulations from such random initial conditions, demonstrating that these analytical solutions — typically constructed using the Darboux transformation — are intrinsic properties of the equation and can be regarded as its fingerprint. We further investigate this problem by analyzing the statistics of local intensity maxima and show that second-order breather solutions are also clearly visible in probability density histograms over intensity intervals. To determine their properties, we employ the peak-height formula, which enables precise identification of the frequencies of the two commensurate components that nonlinearly form the breather. The method is validated using two distinct intensity peaks obtained in numerical simulations with different algorithms and evolution steps. Finally, we provide a brief analysis explaining why third- and higher-order breather solutions are difficult to generate from white noise, based on weak perturbations of carefully constructed initial conditions derived from analytical solutions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"132 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-026-08667-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147737834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, conventional mapping techniques often suffer from limitations such as multi-step measurements, sensitivity to misalignment, or the need for bulky setups, making single-shot and high-resolution polarization mapping particularly challenging. Here, we report a single-shot polarization mapping technique for parallel determination of the polarization change introduced by an unknown optical birefringent element or even device (e.g. <i>q</i>-plates, spatial light modulators). To achieve this, we used a 9<span>(times )</span>9 array of linearly polarized probe sub-beams to capture spatially resolved polarization information in a single measurement, allowing the two-dimensional polarization distribution to be reconstructed from just one data acquisition step. In this way, the measurement time is reduced while high spatial resolution is preserved. To demonstrate the robustness of the technique, we present a measurement with commercially available polarizing vortex plates, which convert linearly polarized light into radially or azimuthally polarized light, and the determination of the polarization response of a commercially available spatial light modulator. The main advantage of the method is its simplicity, achieved without sacrificing efficiency, which makes it readily accessible to any laboratory.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"132 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-026-08669-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147642796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
