SLAC’s high-speed electron camera uncovers a new ‘light-twisting’ behavior in an ultrathin material
SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryUsing SLAC’s instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED), one of the lab’s world-leading tools for ultrafast science, researchers discovered how an ultrathin material can circularly polarize light. This discovery sets up a promising approach to manipulate light for applications in optoelectronic devices.
