Controlling the rotation direction of light without complex new materials

Summary by Phys.org
A new pathway has opened for controlling the rotation direction of light simply by changing how molecules are arranged, without having to synthesize complex new materials. Circularly polarized light is a special form of light that travels while rotating like a pinwheel to the left or right. Because different rotation directions can carry different information, it is drawing attention as a key light source for next-generation displays, optical co…

Researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) have demonstrated a new method for directing infrared light using a two-dimensional material, MoOCl2, without the need for physical waveguides. This discovery could revolutionize integrated photonics and the transmission of optical signals on chips. Plasmon channeling mechanism The scientists used a nanometer-scale gold antenna positioned on the surface of…
