Many polarisation techniques have been harnessed for decades in biological and clinical
research, each based upon measurement of the vectorial properties of light or the vectorial …

The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order
to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These …

Polarization plays a key role in science; hence its versatile manipulation is crucial. Existing
polarization optics, however, can only manipulate polarization in a single transverse plane …

Birefringence is one of key performance for optical functional crystals owing to their
indispensable role in angle phase-matching or adjusting the polarization of light. In the past …

Borophosphates are very known for the short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edge and have become
the promising UV and deep-UV functional crystals candidates; however, tetrahedral [PO4] …

Controlling the various degrees‐of‐freedom (DoFs) of structured light at both quantum and
classical levels is of paramount importance in optics. It is a conventional paradigm to treat …

Exploring non π‐conjugated phosphate birefringent crystal with a large birefringence has
been a great challenge. Herein, based on the unique two‐dimensional layered structure in …

Owing to their vital role in creating and controlling polarized light, birefringent materials are
used extensively in various advanced optical systems which in turn impact a large, rapidly …

Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

The spontaneous magnetic orders arising in ferro-, ferri-and antiferromagnets stem from
various magnetic interactions. Depending on the interplay and competition among the …
