(Nanowerk Spotlight) Light carries information in its wavelength, wavevector direction, polarization, and the way it bends through materials. Until now, optical data storage has typically used just ...

Light corn syrup is used to rotate the plane of polarized light on the stage of an overhead projector. A polarizing filter allows only those photons with electric fields oscillating in a single plane ...

Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological ...

Researchers customize the properties of broadband light sources using an AI algorithm and a photonic chip. Using machine-learning and an integrated photonic chip, researchers from INRS (Canada) and ...
