In the last decade optical manipulation has evolved from a field of interest for physicists to a
versatile tool widely used within life sciences. This has been made possible in particular due …

This work is devoted to a first exploration of Mueller polarimetric imaging for the detection of
residual cancer after neoadjuvant treatment for the rectum. Three samples of colorectal …

Liquid crystal (LC) devices have been largely developed for LC displays and in the last
decade for optical telecommunications; however, their application in the field of optical …

This article presents ultrawide bandwidth (BW) and large-angle helical metamaterial
absorbers (HMMAs) consisting of a periodic array of coaxially nested magnetic helices. The …

Multispectral tunable filters with high performance are desirable components in various
biomedical and industrial applications. In this Letter, we present a new narrowband …

During the past few years, the journal Phase Transitions has attracted a good number of
articles from the liquid-crystals community. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the …

This work demonstrates a polarization-independent electrically tunable Fabry-Pérot (FP)
filter that is based on polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PSBPLCs). An external …

The wavelength dependence of phase retarders is considered as a challenge in different
applications such as polarimetric systems. A novel achromatic waveplate based on two …

A system is described that combines spectropolarimetry with scatterometry. The system uses
an annular mirror and liquid crystal devices to control the angle of the incident light cone, the …

A new skin-imaging method, which was developed recently, gives an informative image data
about skin moles by collecting scattered polarized light reflected from their tissue area at …
