Light corn syrup is used to rotate the plane of polarized light on the stage of an overhead projector. A polarizing filter allows only those photons with electric fields oscillating in a single plane ...

Optical rotation/optical activity is a phenomenon of rotation of plane-polarized light as it travels through chiral media, where the chiral media may be the chiral molecules or crystals.

These drawings, named Fischer projections, were used originally to depict carbohydrate stereochemistry ... the isomer that rotates the plane of polarized light in a clockwise direction) and ...

An ultracompact circularly polarized light source is crucial component for ... By introducing in-plane asymmetry, BICs turn to be quasi-BICs with finite but still high Q factors.

A small fraction of this light is polarized (meaning the light waves vibrate in one plane). Researchers had already detected this polarized light in one pattern, known as "electric" or E-mode ...
