Spatially masked optical Kerr effect (SM-OKE) spectroscopy is a nonresonant femtosecond pump–probe technique capable of measuring isotropic contributions to the transient birefringence of molecular ...

Microlens arrays are one of the key elements that are promising in autostereoscopic display, optical communication, wavefront sensing, integral imaging, etc. For example, microlens arrays are the ...

Understanding how light travels through various materials is essential for many fields, from medical imaging to manufacturing. However, due to their structure, materials often show directional ...

The optical, electrical and mechanical properties of some materials change depending on the direction or orientation of the material. Depending on how wood is cut, for example, the orientation of the ...

Anisotropic nanoparticles are nanoparticles that possess different properties along different axes. Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic ...
