ellip
... An ellipsometer enables to measure the refractive index and the thickness of semi-transparent thin films. The instrument relies on the fact that the reflection at a dielectric interface depends on the polarization of the light while the transmission of light through a transparent layer changes the p ...

Observation of optical polarization Möbius strips
... Möbius strips (16). Möbius strips are 3D objects that possess only a single surface and a single boundary component (17, 18) and have been observed in chemistry, biology (19), particle physics (20), and materials science (21–23). In our experiment, these 3D objects are created by the tight focusing ...

What is Optics? Photonics?
... What is Optics? Photonics? • Think of optics as the science of light. It’s a branch of physics that describes the behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter. It’s about what light is made of and how it behaves. • Light allows us to see, but it also transmits sound, cut ...
