An international team of researchers has developed a novel technique to efficiently excite and control highly-confined ...

Researchers find gravitational lensing has significant effect on cosmic birefringence. ScienceDaily. Retrieved September 8, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 11 / 231102135148.htm ...

Over the past decades, researchers have demonstrated conventional solitons, stretched pulses, self-similar pulses, and dissipative solitons by managing the dispersion and nonlinearity of fiber lasers.

A new diagnostic method has been created, based on Birefringence, the ability of substances to change the polarization state of light. With this method, doctors around the world can easily, rapidly ...

MIAMI — A modified nerve fiber analyzer can give surgeons the ability to measure the corneal polarization axis and magnitude so that compensation for corneal birefringence is eye-specific, according ...

The manipulation of light by conventional optical components such as lenses, prisms, and waveplates involves engineering of the wavefront as it propagates through an optically thick medium. A unique ...

This artist’s view shows how the light coming from the surface of a strongly magnetic neutron star (left) becomes linearly polarised as it travels through the vacuum of space close to the star on its ...

The coccolithophores are among the few organisms of the phytoplankton to calcify. Although together with the planktonic foraminifera they dominate calcite production in the open ocean, the amount of ...

According to quantum electrodynamics (QED) - a quantum theory that describes how light and matter interact - it’s predicted that space is actually full of 'virtual particles' that pop in and out of ...
