An organic light emitting diode (OLED) with a linearly polarized white light emission is demonstrated using a nanograting structure. The aluminum based grating structure is fabricated by laser ...

This light can scatter to the side and remain vertically polarized, but it cannot scatter upward! To retain the characteristic of a transverse wave after scattering, only the vertically polarized ...

For example, previous metasurfaces put specific requirements on the manipulation of light's polarization—that is, the orientation of the light waves—in order to control the light's behavior.

Tsukuba, Japan—Some beetles, such as Anomala albopilosa, strongly reflect left circularly polarized light (electromagnetic waves that oscillate leftward relative to the direction of light ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted ...

Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to get there.

Controlling magnetism with polarized light: Non-thermal pathway uses inverse Faraday effect by Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB) Editors' notes ...

“Visible light travels as transverse waves. On earth, light comes at us from every direction: reflected, refracted, and diffused. A polarizing filter is a screen that allows only the direct or ...

This light can scatter to the side and remain vertically polarized, but it cannot scatter upwards! To retain the characteristic of a transverse wave after scattering, only the vertically polarized ...

The original waves In 1924, French physics doctoral student Louis de Broglie proposed that matter has a wave-like property. De Broglie was inspired by the discovery of wave-particle duality in light.
