A new and quicker way of modulating the polarization of light pulses has been unveiled by researchers in the UK. The technique uses a second laser pulse to control polarization and could be used in a ...

Many organisms leverage showy colors for attracting mates. Because color is a property of light (determined by its wavelength), it is easy for humans to see how these colors are used in animal ...

Reliably measuring the polarization state of light is crucial for various technological applications, ranging from optical communication to biomedical imaging. Yet conventional polarimeters are made ...

Metasurface converts Gaussian beams to uniform light via polarization encoding, boosting NMR co-magnetometer sensitivity 23% for compact quantum sensors.
