A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...
(Upper panel) Experimental scheme. When a chiral gold nanoparticle is illuminated with near-infrared linearly polarized femtosecond light pulses, circularly polarized luminescence is observed in the ...
Scientists built a chiral metal-organic framework that boosts circularly polarized light, achieving record luminescence and offering a new design path for optical materials. (Nanowerk News) A research ...
Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. Left and right circularly polarized light, where the ...
In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...
A device produces green light while a researcher in lab gear stands in the background. This OLED device, which is held by a mechanical support, is producing circularly polarized light. Credit: ...
Researchers from the University of Oxford have for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light ...
An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, the ...
