Reference excerpt

Vladimir Polukhin (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Полухин) was a Russian scientist (doctor of science, Russian: 'doctor nauk') and an engineer in the field of optics.

Career Vladimir Polukhin is known for his contribution to physical chemistry and technology of optical and special types of glass, fiber-optic elements, and micro-channel structures. The research carried out under his leadership in the Vavilov State Optical Institute has found practical applications in a variety of industries including optics and electronics. Vladimir Polukhin has received multiple awards and medals including the USSR State Prize and Honoured Inventor of the USSR.

Biography

Vladimir Polukhin was born on May 28, 1932, in Kolyshley (Penzenskaya Area, Russia) and spent his school years in Serdobsk (near Penza). Moscow become the city of his student years. However, his career he built up in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, where he fruitfully worked all his adult life and died in 2009). Mendeleev Russian University of Chemistry and Technology Polukhin's alma mater, after his graduation in 1955 he received the qualification of an engineer with specialisation in training in the technology of silicates and commenced working at an Optical Glass factory in Nikolsk, Russia. In 1957, he started his post-graduate study at the Research and Technological Institute of Optical Materials All-Russian Scientific center within Vavilov State Optical Institute which in brought him Doctoral degree in Technical Sciences. Dr.Polukhin career: having joined Vavilov State Optical Institute as a junior researcher he has become one of the leading specialists and the head of the department. Starting in the position of junior, senior, leading and chief researcher, Than has become the Head of the Laboratory of Optical Glass (1966—1982), and the Head of The Department and The Laboratory of Fiber Optics (1982—1989). He was also the founder and the leading research and development expert in "VOSTEK: fiber optics, glass, capillaries" company (Russian: ВОСтеК). The company collaborated with Russian and European institutions (Germany, Italy, Switzerland).

Optics Until his last days he was in charge of The Laboratory of Special Optical Glass, the Technology of Hard Fiber-Optics Elements and Micro-channel Plates at Vavilov State Optical Institute. Talented and knowledgeable innovator, passionate research supervisor, his contribution includes following aspects:

Optical glass with special dispersion for large space lenses; Optical glass with extreme optical constants; Special glass combinations for optical-electronic elements fabrication – flexible medical tourniquet and superior aperture fiber-optics plates; Glass combinations for micro channel elements and bifocal glasses with an invisible boundary line; Glass for diodes fabrication and varistors covering; Development of fibre–optic and micro channel technology for optoelectronic converters and radiography micro channel structures and lenses. Vladimir Polukhin published more than a hundred of scientific articles and received over hundred of certificates of recognition and patents; was awarded the title of Honoured Inventor of the USSR and many others.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladimir Polukhin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladimir Polukhin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vladimir Polukhin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vladimir Polukhin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vladimir Polukhin

In research: Vladimir Polukhin appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vladimir Polukhin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vladimir Polukhin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1932 births, 2009 deaths, D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladimir Polukhin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
