So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...

An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, the ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a kind of energetic cosmic radio burst. Though their duration is usually at millisecond scale, their energy (estimated isotropically) reaches 10 ^36 ～10 ^41 erg, ...

Abstract Chiral halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for spin-optoelectronic devices owing to their ability to emit circularly ...

This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

a, Device structure of an on-chip infrared circular polarization detector based on the metal-MoS2-metal architecture. b, Band diagram of the two metal-MoS2 junctions functioning as two Schottky diodes ...
