An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, 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 ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.230052 discusses structured light beams with controllable polarization along arbitrary trajectories. A structured light refers 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 ...

Think of all the information we get based on how an object interacts with wavelengths of light—aka color. Color can tell us if food is safe to eat or if a piece of metal is hot. Color is an important ...
