EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials ...

Now, a team led by Professor Sascha Feldmann at EPFL’s Laboratory for Energy Materials has developed a high-sensitivity, ...

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 ...

In 2007, it was concluded that small handheld devices are limited to linear polarization; there was defined margin improvement; and tests in a controlled environment showed, on average, that ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or ...

Circular polarization is less susceptible to signal fading since the polarization most easily propagated is achieved whatever the intervening propagation environment might happen to be. In ham radio, ...

The largest radio telescope FAST detects 90% circular polarization and rapidly changing linear polarization in the bursts of a fast radio burst (FRB) repeater, imposing new constraint on radiative ...

A research team in Japan has performed deep imaging linear and circular polarimetry of the 'Cat's Paw Nebula' (NGC 6334) located in the constellation Scorpius, successfully detecting high degrees ...

They discovered that the photoreceptors in the hemispheres respond to light with different linear polarizations, while the mid-band was sensitive to circularly polarized light. Stokes parameters As a ...
