Light fields, as a form of electromagnetic waves, are characterized by fundamental parameters including intensity, phase, and polarization. Precise imaging of these three parameters is crucial for ...

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

Researchers embedded a liquid crystal layer into a waveguide that was created with direct laser writing (pictured). The resulting hybrid device can be used to change the polarization of light ...

Flamboyant sexual ornaments serve as conspicuous visual signals optimized to the visual receptors and perception of potential mates. While ...

Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem that explains the workings of pendulums and planets to reveal new properties of light waves. Since the 17th century, when Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens ...

Researchers have developed a new way to control and manipulate optical signals by embedding a liquid crystal layer into waveguides created with direct laser writing. The new devices enable ...
