An electromagnetic wave or signal traveling from “here” to “there” has an electrostatic field component that we call its E-field and whose direction we assign as the signal’s polarity. Often, the ...

Polarized sunglasses work by using special chemicals to block light polarized in one direction, thereby eliminating about 50% of the light. Light can also be ‘circularly’ polarized, such that the axis ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Some beetles, such as Anomala albopilosa, strongly reflect left circularly polarized light (electromagnetic waves that oscillate leftward relative to the direction of light reception).

A device produces green light while a researcher in lab gear stands in the background. This OLED device, which is held by a mechanical support, is producing circularly polarized light. Credit: ...

A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

I am not an engineer, but I will offer an answer below. Any of our readers are invited to provide further clarification. A circular-polarized antenna is used to read tags in random orientation. The ...

I have a circuiar polarized filter for my S1 IS. I was told to get a UV Haze filter to cut out pollution. What is the difference? The circular polarized filter cuts out shiny surfaces. Can they be ...
