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 ...

Transverse waves are perpendicular to the direction ... the half-ring to scatter light under one-incident handedness. The polarization of the evanescent field then explains the almost complete ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...
