Circular polarization does not refer to circulating fields or ... Note, finally, that because electromagnetic waves are transverse, there is no electric field along the direction of propagation. A ...

terhartz waves can reveal structural details of biological molecules and penetrate nonmetallic objects like clothing and paper. However to harness them effectively, their polarization (the direction ...

the transverse spin turns out to be independent of polarization and helicity, while the transverse momentum is proportional to the wave helicity. "Such extraordinary properties, revealed in very ...

“You’re giving [the extraordinary wave] a phase delay relative to the ordinary wave,” says Nicholls, “which in turn flips the polarization state.” It would be impracticable in telecommunications, and ...

THz waves hold great promise, but to harness them effectively, their polarization (the direction in which the waves vibrate) must be controlled. Polarization control is crucial for optimizing THz ...

According to Hong-Bo Jin from the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Beijing, one disadvantage of a triangular array is that when the direction of gravitational-wave ...

BEIJING -- A Chinese research team has developed a novel terahertz wave polarization modulator that can be used in multiple fields such as high-speed wireless communication, the Chinese Academy of ...
