As fundamental properties of light, spectra and polarization carry vital information concerning the propagation of light waves. For example, spectral imaging can reflect the material composition of ...

An ultracompact circularly polarized light source is crucial component for the applications of classical and quantum optics information processing. The development of this field relies on the advances ...

Light corn syrup is used to rotate the plane of polarized light on the stage of an overhead projector. A polarizing filter allows only those photons with electric fields oscillating in a single plane ...

(Nanowerk News) Dr. Ayumi Ishii, (Toin University of Yokohama, specially appointed lecturer) has developed a photodiode using a crystalline film composed of lead perovskite compounds with organic ...

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 ...

Technologies that rely on interactions between matter and polarized light usually stick to the well-understood effects of linear or circular polarization. Researchers at Rice University in the US have ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light ...

When circular polarized light is irradiated onto a thallium lead alloy, the majority “up spins” of electrons flow in the right direction (spin-polarized current). Researchers Ibuki Taniuchi, Ryota ...

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" ...
