The Goos-Hänchen effect refers to the small lateral displacement experienced by a light beam when it is reflected from an interface, a phenomenon that deviates from the simple predictions of geometric ...

A research group has discovered significant nonreciprocal optical absorption of LiNiPO4, referred to as the optical diode effect, in which divalent nickel (Ni2+) ions are responsible for magnetism, by ...

A novel technique for enhancing optical spring that utilizes the Kerr effect to improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) has recently been developed. This innovative design uses ...

After decades of physics-based theorizing, researchers have succeeded in creating a novel optical metamaterial using conventional materials. Its enhanced electromagnetic effect may make true one-way ...

Researchers have experimentally realized an optical effect predicted over 75 years ago: the Tellegen effect, where electric and magnetic responses intertwine in a nonreciprocal way. Using nanoscale ...

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden magnetic ingredient inside this classic effect. The new work reveals that the ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. SHAO Dingfu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. XIAO Ruichun and Prof. LI Hui from Anhui ...

(Nanowerk News) At the heart of global internet connectivity, optical communications form an indispensable foundation. Key to this foundation are optical isolators, created by combining multiple ...
