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 ...

In this article, a robust bionic polarized skylight orientation method based on the model consistency of polarization patterns (MCOPPs) is proposed for cloudy weather. First, we made full use of the ...

Thin films generating circulalry polarized luminescence (CPL), that is exhibiting the differential emission intensity of right and left circularly polarized light, are fascinating from an intellectual ...

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 ...
