THz waves hold great promise, but to harness them effectively, their polarization (the direction in which the waves vibrate) must be controlled.

Polarization—the orientation of light waves—is a cornerstone of modern technology, critical in everything from next-generation wireless communications to biomedical imaging.

Independent manipulations of various properties of EM waves are crucially required in a wide range of applications. Metasurface is a promising candidate to provide an advanced platform for ...

BICEP2 Collaboration . Gravitational waves from inflation generate a faint but distinctive twisting pattern in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, known as a "curl" or B-mode pattern.

Gravitational waves can rotate the polarization of light, providing an indirect means of detection. Nevertheless, this gravitational radiation would affect any light passing through, curling its ...

Report 1969-31. Abstract. The effect of electron collisions on the polarization of waves reflected from the ionosphere is calculated by an iteration procedure and shown to be relatively small at ...
