Understanding light-wave propagation in anisotropic materials. 26 Sep 2024. Italian group combines spatiotemporal analysis of light transport to resolve interplay of different scattering coefficients.

The propagation of light is explained by Maxwell’s equations. Although he worked them out in the 19th century, they are consistent with both relativity and quantum mechanics. This question ...

It is well known that light propagating as an electromagnetic wave or photon carries momentum along the direction of the wave's propagation, and that this momentum is independent of polarization.

We also introduce a universal right-handed triplet consisting of momentum, decay and spin for evanescent waves. We derive the Stokes parameters for evanescent waves, which reveal an intriguing ...

Moreover, they witnessed the topology, or mathematical description, in the observed light. Kuipers: "For these light waves the polarization of light rotates in a certain direction, analogous to ...
