The polarization of light adds another dimension to the complexity of the rain forest photic environment. ABSTRACT La luz ambiental dentro de la jungla presents complejos patrones de brillo y distribucin espectral de luz. El campo de la luz polarizada no es menos complejo. Usando un analizador ...
Whenever light and matter interact, the polarization of the light will be altered. For example, if we collect light coming directly from the sun, it looks randomly polarized, but if we look at the sky or the reflection of the sun on a lake, the light is polarized. The light from LEDs ...

The polarization of light in coastal and open oceans: Reflection and transmission by the air-sea interface and application for the retrieval of water optical properties For decades, traditional remote sensing retrieval methods that rely solely on the spectral intensity of the water-leaving light have...
circular polarizationTHE evidence for the polarization of the light from many stars has accumulated since Hiltner's first observation of the effect 1 . Owing to the correlation of the effect with interstellar absorbing medium, it now seems certain that the explanation must be found in an ...
spatial distribution of intensity, the frequency spectrum, and the polarization of the light. Frequently only the change in the direction of the light propagation caused by the spatial inhomogeneity of the medium and perceived as a nonintrinsic glow in the medium is called the scattering of light...
Polarization is a unique property of electromagnetic radiation (light). It is discussed at all levels of scientific education, from introductory courses in physics to graduate courses in electromagnetism. As with most physical theories, students appreciate a practical example, particularly when it involve...
In the following, we solve this problem by taking advantage of the extrinsic two-dimensional chirality induced in photo-absorption of the elliptically polarized XUV light in the presence of a linearly polarized infrared field (see Fig. 1). Intuitively, the polarization vector of the infrared (IR...
The miniaturization of measurement systems currently used to characterize the polarization state of light is limited by the bulky optical components used such as polarizers and waveplates. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple and compact approach to measure the ellipticity and handedness of...
