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 ...

A new optical technique lets scientists control topological solitons in ferroelectric materials, paving the way for ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy — a ...

VirtualLab Fusion provides a platform for connecting inbuilt and customized electromagnetic field solvers. This approach enables fast physical optics with ray tracing embedded in a well-defined way.

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 ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- To highlight breakthroughs in this area, the editors of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal, today published a special focus issue on Unconventional ...

Ferroic materials such as ferromagnets and ferroelectrics underpin modern data storage, yet face limits: They switch slowly, or suffer from unstable polarization due to depolarizing fields ...

Robots and autonomous cars will have eyes that see much more than the human eye is capable of, a review of the growing field of meta-optics has found. Meta-optics is advancing science and technology ...
