Transmission of an electro-optic device as a function of applied voltage. The team fired microwaves at one end of a crystal, which instead of heating up, stayed cool. This Demonstration shows the effect of the optical element on the polarization of light. V1/2 denotes the half-wave voltage. Describes how laser radiation propagates in natural and artificial materials and how the state of radiation can be controlled and manipulated (phase intensity, polarization) by various means. By submerging a new type of zinc oxide crystal in water, the scientists claim to be able to harvest hydrogen using vibrations from passing traffic and crashing waves. Here we describe a new optical biosensor technique based on the registration of dual optical s-polarized waves on a photonic crystal surface. Heat normally flows from hot to cold, but now physicists in Japan and Germany have shown that spin waves can reverse the flow. The first part is about the elementary topics on optics and photonics wherein beam optics, Fourier optics, electromagnetic optics, polarization and crystal optics, guided wave optics, statistical optics are discussed. Wave plates and linear polarizers are common optical elements that alter the polarization of light passing through them. This effect can occur only if the structure of the material is anisotropic, so that the material's optical properties are not the same in all directions.
