Classical structured light with controlled polarization and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of electromagnetic waves has varied applications in optical trapping, bio-sensing, optical communications and quantum simulations. The classical…
Spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a major experimental probe of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), yet it remains unclear whether the measured spin polarization reflects molecular chirality itself or the broader…
The transverse spatial attributes of an optical beam can be decomposed into the position, momentum and orbital angular momentum observables. The position and momentum of a beam is directly related to the quadrature amplitudes, whilst the…
Photons are nonchiral particles: their handedness can be both left and right. However, when light is transversely confined, it can locally exhibit a transverse spin whose orientation is fixed by the propagation direction of the photons.…
Optical orientation in the strained semiconductor superlattices is investigated theoretically. The dependence of the features in spin-polarization spectra on the structure parameters is clarified. The value of polarization in the first…
The spin Hall effect of light, a spin-dependent transverse splitting of light at an optical interface, is intrinsically an incident-polarization-sensitive phenomenon. Recently, an approach to eliminate the polarization dependence by…
We put forward a mechanism for current induced spin polarization for a hole in a quantum dot side-coupled to a quantum wire, that is based on the spin-orbit splitting of the valence band. We predict that in a stark contrast with the…
We study polarization squeezing of a pure photon number state which is obviously polarized but the mere change in the basis of polarization leads to simultaneous polarization squeezing in all the components of Stokes operator vector except…
We examine, both experimentally and theoretically, an interaction of tightly focused polarized light with a slit on a metal surface supporting plasmon-polariton modes. Remarkably, this simple system can be highly sensitive to the…
Polarization is a basic property of light and is fundamentally linked to the internal geometry of a source of radiation. Polarimetry complements photometric, spectroscopic, and imaging analyses of sources of radiation and has made possible…
An optical waveplate rotating light polarization can be modeled as a single-qubit unitary operator, whose action can be experimentally determined via quantum process tomography. Standard approaches to tomographic problems rely on the…
We develop geometric optics expansion up to the subleading order for circularly polarized electromagnetic waves on curved spacetime. This subleading order geometric optics expansion, in which the conventional eikonal function is modified by…
The widely-used Jones and Mueller differential polarization calculi allow non-depolarizing deterministic polarization interactions, known to be elements of the $SO^+(1,3)$ Lorentz group, to be described in an efficient way. In this Letter,…
The current work proposes a method for pulsed-light polarization of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center electron spin. To evaluate the influence of pulsed spin polarization, we establish a polarization evaluation index based on polarizability and…
Because of the peculiar coupling of spatial and spin degrees of freedom effected by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction, lateral confinement of a two dimensional electronic system leads to a finite transverse spin polarization near the…
Nonlocality as a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics is witnessed by violation of Bell inequality or its variants, for which all relevant studies assume some correlations exhibited by local realistic theories. The strategy of Bell's…
Photonic devices exhibiting all-optically reconfigurable polarization dependence with a large dynamic range would be highly attractive for active polarization control. Here, we report that strongly polarization-selective nonlinear…
We consider optical properties of a gas of molecules that are brought to fast unidirectional spinning by a pulsed laser field. It is shown that a circularly polarized probe light passing through the medium inverts its polarization…
We investigated the modulation in the polarization-dependent optical behaviour of the waveguiding plasmonic crystal by varying the illumination and detection geometry. We employed the finite element method-based COMSOL simulation and…
The spin degree of freedom in quantum phases of the second Landau level is probed by resonant light scattering. The long wavelength spin wave, which monitors the degree of spin polarization, is at the Zeeman energy in the fully…
