Excited to share in @nature.com today: Broadband transient full-Stokes luminescence spectroscopy - detecting the most subtle changes in light polarization over time with unprecedented sensitivity. Grateful for the team that made this possible!😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chirality #light
Broadband transient full-Stokes luminescence spectroscopy - Nature
A high-sensitivity, broadband, transient, full-Stokes spectroscopy setup is demonstrated, which can detect quickly varying small signals from chiral emitters.
