Now that we have explored light waves, we can dive more in depth into polarization. In how to describe light, we mentioned that sunlight is a form of unpolarized light or natural light. But what ...

Terahertz (THz) waves, situated between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, have drawn considerable attention over the past two decades. Researchers from the Aerospace ...

Fig. 1 (a) Schematic of a PM that consists of two nanobeam cavities. (b) Normalized profile of the electric field (Ex at left and Ey at right) for the S and AS mode Polarization is an intrinsic ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists at Stevens Institute of Technology used Christiaan Huygens' 350-year-old theorem, which explains the workings of pendulums and planets, to reveal new properties of light waves. (Courtesy: ...
