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

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

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 ...

Polarized-Light Mosaic With polarized light, you can make a stained glass window without glass. Using transparent tape and polarizing material, you can make and project beautifully colored patterns ...

White light is made up of all the colors in the rainbow. When polarized white light passes through a sugar solution, each color’s direction of polarization is changed by a different amount. The colors ...

Polarizers provide convenience in generating polarized light, meanwhile their adoption raises problems of extra weight, cost, and energy loss. Aiming to realize polarizer-free polarized light sources, ...

This work is on polarization direction visualization of linearly-polarized light. Different from using conventional rotation or multiple beam-path approaches, a more direct and popular solution is to ...

In a petrographic microscope, the light is first polarized, then the thin section is placed in that beam of light and then that light passes through a second polarizer. A weird thing happens to ...

If one photon is found to be horizontally polarized, the other will always be vertically polarized, and vice versa. At the same time, metasurfaces, ultrathin optical devices, can manipulate light with ...

We imagine many Hackaday readers have similar childhood stories. Optics He was interested in optics, and at around age 13, he became interested in using polarized light to reduce headlight glare.
