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 ...

a, Device structure of an on-chip infrared circular polarization detector based on the metal-MoS2-metal architecture. b, Band diagram of the two metal-MoS2 junctions functioning as two Schottky diodes ...

The single spiral image is an off-angle scanning electron microscope image of a fabricated circular polarizer. A circular polarizing camera could help warfighters filter out unwanted light. Technology ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a kind of energetic cosmic radio burst. Though their duration is usually at millisecond scale, their energy (estimated isotropically) reaches 10 ^36 ～10 ^41 erg, ...

Scientists in Germany and Australia have discovered that shrimps can detect both linearly and circularly polarized light. The group hopes that studying the response of photoreceptors in a shrimp's ...

EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials emit polarized light over time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...
