Light can carry angular momentum in two distinct ways. One comes from polarization, which describes how the electric field ...

Silicon nanospheres amplify second-harmonic generation from monolayer semiconductors over 40-fold while retaining ...

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...

Researchers developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by ...

Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s oldest light—have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it’s ...

A research team has demonstrated that silicon nanospheres can strongly enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG) from an ...

Controlling both the state and degree of polarization of light is a long-standing challenge in optics. While metasurfaces offer compact, high-resolution control over wavefronts, most existing designs ...

Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by ...

In a study published in Nano Letters, researchers demonstrated that light can change the electric polarization within the domains of a relaxor material in just trillionths of a second. Depiction of ...

Researchers in China have unveiled a holographic data storage system that uses multiple properties ...
