MIT researchers recently announced that they may have found a solution to polarization-dependence problems in ICs. Light traveling in fiber-optic cables experiences randomized polarization, which ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240076 , discusses spin-controlled generation of a complete polarization set with randomly-interleaved plasmonic metasurfaces.

Light near the surface of ultra-thin optical fibers allows sorting of chiral nanoparticles based on their handedness.

Researchers have developed a compact, single-shot polarization imaging system that can provide a complete picture of polarization. By using just two thin metasurfaces, the imaging system could unlock ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

Scientists from Fudan University have developed a graphene-integrated silicon nitride microtube resonator via self-rolling ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are ubiquitous, from smart phones to home lighting. But today's LEDs have a major limitation: when the operator tries to make them brighter by increasing their power, they ...

Researchers have produced a record-thin optical quarter-waveplate from the two-dimensional material niobium oxychloride (NbOCl2), measuring roughly 269 nanometers thick and operating at a wavelength ...
