Light fields, as a form of electromagnetic waves, are characterized by fundamental parameters including intensity, phase, and polarization. Precise imaging of these three parameters is crucial for ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

The interference of single photons going through a double slit is a compelling demonstration of the wave and particle nature of light in the same experiment. Single photons produced by spontaneous ...

When first introduced, single-photon counting detectors reshaped crystallography at synchrotrons. Their fast readout speed enabled, for example, shutter-less data collection and fine slicing of the ...

Nanoscale strain control of exciton funneling is an increasingly critical tool for the scalable production of single photon emitters (SPEs) in two-dimensional materials. However, conventional ...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) has been a powerful tool in metallurgy for over 100 years [1,2]. Despite the misleading name, X-ray powder diffraction is used for analysis of more than just powder: it ...

Fluorescence microscopy techniques are powerful tools for probing very small signals and revealing three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional properties of biological samples with high ...
