A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the “handedness” of light as it passes ...

Circularly polarized light (CPL) plays an important role in various contemporary applications such as chiral molecule distinguishing, remote sensing, quantum optics, and spintronics. Traditional ...

(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...

Polarized sunglasses work by using special chemicals to block light polarized in one direction, thereby eliminating about 50% of the light. Light can also be ‘circularly’ polarized, such that the axis ...

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 ...

Magnetic nanostructures have long been part of our everyday life, e.g., in the form of fast and compact data storage devices or highly sensitive sensors. A major contribution to the understanding of ...
