A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...

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

In a paper published in Nature Photonics, the research team from the Center for Quantum Information and Communication – Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles of Université libre de Bruxelles, has found an ...

Purdue faculty dedicate countless hours to exploring the frontiers of their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of academia. To ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Pushing optical imaging below the diffraction limit usually requires complicated illumination schemes and still suffers from weak, unstable signals ...
