Researchers use circularly polarized light to control the direction of exciton polaritons in 2D semiconductors, enabling new ...

Centrosymmetric crystals have always absorbed equal amounts of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light—until now ...

In circularly polarized light (CPL), the fields lie in a plane that continuously rotates through 360 degrees. As a result there are two types of circularly polarized light, ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike ...

Left and right circularly polarized light, where the electromagnetic waves spiral in a clockwise and counterclockwise manner ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in ...

Circularly polarized light is central to many photonic technologies, including circularly polarized ellipsometry-based tomography1,2, optical communication of spin information3 and quantum-based ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of ...

The ratio of sensitivities between left- and right-handed circularly polarized light detections achieved the world's highest value of 25 or higher for a filterless circular polarization detector.

In circularly polarized light (CPL), the fields lie in a plane that continuously rotates through 360 degrees. As a result there are two types of circularly polarized light, right-handed and left ...

You’d think there would be a law against this, and scientists thought there was, but somehow it happens, and it could help ...

The insect Anomala albopilosa has an exoskeleton that reflects circularly polarized light. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have coated the surface of its exoskeleton with an electrically ...
