WOP, USouthampton Develop Z Polarizers

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
VILNIUS, Lithuania, Aug. 17, 2011 — Workshop of Photonics (WOP) has collaborated with researchers at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton to develop a direct laser writing technique for the production of radial polarization converters. Z polarizer. (Images: World of Photonics) Known as Z polarizers, the devices are applied at laser machining to high-power laser radiation because of their monolithic fused silica window design, and antireflection coatings can be applied. In addition, a single element is used both for polarization conversion and generation of higher topological charge...Read full article

    optical tweezers
    Optical tweezers refer to a scientific instrument that uses the pressure of laser light to trap and manipulate microscopic objects, such as particles or biological cells, in three dimensions. This technique relies on the momentum transfer of photons from the laser beam to the trapped objects, creating a stable trapping potential. Optical tweezers are widely used in physics, biology, and nanotechnology for studying and manipulating tiny structures at the microscale and nanoscale levels. Key...
    polarization
    Polarization refers to the orientation of oscillations in a transverse wave, such as light waves, radio waves, or other electromagnetic waves. In simpler terms, it describes the direction in which the electric field vector of a wave vibrates. Understanding polarization is important in various fields, including optics, telecommunications, and physics. Key points about polarization: Transverse waves: Polarization is a concept associated with transverse waves, where the oscillations occur...
    raman spectroscopy
    Raman spectroscopy is a technique used in analytical chemistry and physics to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Named after the Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman who discovered the phenomenon in 1928, Raman spectroscopy provides information about molecular vibrations by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Here is a breakdown of the process: Incident light: A monochromatic (single wavelength) light, usually from a laser, is...
