So I've been familiar with the basics of polarization since forever, but I recently realized circular polarization is a mystery to me. I've heard of it in conjunction with eg satellite broadcasts, but ...

Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.210009 overviews linear polarization holography. In conventional holography, the hologram is formed by recording the interference ...

Scientists in Germany and Australia have discovered that shrimps can detect both linearly and circularly polarized light. The group hopes that studying the response of photoreceptors in a shrimp's ...
