e.g. the linear polarization usually traces the geometric configuration of magnetic fields in the radiation zone and circular polarization probes both intrinsic radiation mechanisms and ...

By designing different stripe arrangements, the researchers achieved precise polarization tuning without external optical components. Simply rotating the emitter allows for flexible and efficient ...

Among several light attributes, pure polarization states are crucial for many applications and research areas. Over the years, several waveguides and structured materials have been developed to ...

The conventional terminology for that case however is not the word “rotary”, it is the word “circular”. We thus speak of vertical polarization, horizontal polarization, and circular polarization. What ...

Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ellipticity) detection is essential for chiral molecule distinguishing, vision dehazing, magnetic field sensing ...

Abstract: In this article, we experimentally demonstrate a bifunctional terahertz (THz) metasurface that can achieve broadband linear-to-circular polarization conversion (LCPC) and linear polarization ...

So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts ...
