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 ...

Fig. 1. (a) THz optical path diagram based on metasurface. By controlling the phase delays of LCP and RCP waves by unit cells, metasurface can transmit the LCP and RCP components of the incident ...

Based on a suitable band structure, the synergistic effect of oxygen vacancy defects and an electromagnetic field facilitates electron transfer. This process thereby achieves broadband absorption ...

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 ...

It has been known for many years that careful control of the polarization of light can impact optics and photonics technologies. For example, tiny nanostructures are known to be able to capture light ...

Sliding ferroelectrics are a type of two-dimensional (2D) material realized by stacking nonpolar monolayers (atom-thick layers that lack an electric dipole). When these individual layers are stacked, ...

When the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics announced a press conference for a “Major Discovery” (capital letters in the original e-mail) involving an unspecified experiment, rumors began to ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route to practical 3D ...

With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...
