Metasurface Polarimeter Meets Telecom, Nanotechnology Demands
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 11, 2016 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 11, 2016 — A novel architecture for in-line polarimeters enables monolithic, on-chip integration of polarization sensors for applications as varied as drug design and telecommunications, as well as for emerging nanotechnologies. A research team led by professor Federico Capasso of Harvard University sought to address the slow, bulky and expensive nature of existing polarimeters, which are the ubiquitous technology for measuring the polarization of
