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

In this paper, we predict an unexpected perfect optical absorption phenomenon of oblique-incident transverse magnetic polarized light in a metallic grating situated in asymmetric surroundings. Two ...

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

Recent advances in chiral nanomaterials interacting with circularly polarized (CP) light open new expectations for optoelectronics in various research fields such as quantum- and biology-related ...

In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice University have achieved a major milestone in nanomaterials ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

By studying their interactions with chiral light, you can diagnose what type of molecule you have. Sometimes the right-handed version is a powerful drug, but the left-handed version is poison.” ...

We present a new nonlinear optical technique to probe chirality, i.e., lack of reflection symmetry, of surfaces and thin molecular films. The technique is based on second-harmonic generation and ...

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 ...
