Reliably measuring the polarization state of light is crucial for various technological applications, ranging from optical communication to biomedical imaging. Yet conventional polarimeters are made ...

Nuclear magnetic resonance –based co-magnetometers are essential tools for applications ranging from inertial navigation to ...

Physicists have shown that ultra-thin two-dimensional materials such as tungsten diselenide can rotate the polarization of visible light by several degrees at certain wavelengths under small magnetic ...

This means that instead of traveling in multiple directions as they would in the air, the light waves all travel in one direction, along a single plane. That direction is determined chiefly by the ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in controlling the polarization of light, a crucial property ...

Scientists report a new method that achieves for the first time valley polarization in centrosymmetric bulk materials in a non-material-specific way. This 'universal technique' may have major ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new tools for nanoscale photonics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Directing light along ...

Lawbreakers? faster-than-light Polarization Currents, The Electromagnetic “Boom” and Pulsar Observational Data Pulsars are neutron stars that emit amazingly regular, short bursts of radio waves, so ...
