Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Independent manipulations of various properties of EM waves are crucially required in a wide range of ...

A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

Researchers have developed a compact, single-shot polarization imaging system that can provide a complete picture of polarization. By using just two thin metasurfaces, the imaging system could unlock ...

Think of all the information we get based on how an object interacts with wavelengths of light—aka color. Color can tell us if food is safe to eat or if a piece of metal is hot. Color is an important ...

While conventional photodetectors can only measure light intensity, the light field contains much richer information. This information includes but is not limited to phase, polarization, and spectrum.

(Nanowerk News) Metasurface technology is an advanced optical technology that is thinner, lighter, and capable of precisely controlling light through nanometer-sized artificial structures compared to ...

A project at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) has developed a metasurface intended to extract polarimetric imaging data more rapidly and cost effectively than current methods. Described in ...

Holography—the science of recording and reconstructing light fields—has long been central to imaging, data storage, and encryption. Traditional holographic systems, however, rely on bulky optical ...
