In this paper, a microstrip-fed broadband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna is presented. CP operation can be attained simply by embedding an S-shaped strip. By loading with a multiple-circular-sector patch, which consists of 12 circular-sector patches with identical central angles of 30° and different radii, the 3 dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is significantly broadened. To validate the performance of the proposed antenna, an antenna prototype is fabricated and tested. The fabricated antenna is 54 mm × 54 mm × 0.8 mm in size. The measured -10 dB reflection and 3 dB AR bandwidths are 81.06% (1.68⁻3.97 GHz) and 70.55% (1.89⁻3.95 GHz), respectively. Within the 3 dB AR bandwidth, the measured peak gain is 3.81 dBic. Reasonable agreement is also obtained between the measured and simulated results.

We describe the design of two types of metamaterials aimed at enhancing terahertz field pulses that can be used to control the magnetic state in condensed matter systems. The first structure is a so-called "dragonfly" antenna, able to realize a five-fold enhancement of the impinging terahertz magnetic field, while preserving its broadband features. For currently available state-of-the-art table top sources, this leads to peak magnetic fields exceeding 1 T.

However, implementing broadband polarization detection in the terahertz (THz) range poses significant challenges when employing conventional optics. This paper proposes and experimentally evaluates a broadband polarization detection strategy using all-dielectric metasurfaces.

However, current systems face limitations in spin-controlled manipulation, as most studies focus on non-chiral, time-varying metamaterials. Consequently, realizing spin-dependent broadband anti-reflection using time-varying chiral metamaterials remains underexplored.

However, the development of circularly polarized wavefront modulation devices is hindered by conjugate symmetric phase responses introduced by the rotation-induced geometric phase. Herein, a spin-decoupled meta-atom with a novel structure is designed to independently tailor left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized incident waves over a broadband range of 12-28 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 80%.

Flexible organic crystals, capable of transmitting light and responding to various external stimuli, are emerging as a new frontier in optoelectronic materials. They hold immense potential for applications in molecular machines, sensors, displays, and intelligent devices. Here, we report on flexible organic crystals based on single-component enantiomeric organic compounds, demonstrating multi-stimuli-responsive circularly polarized light (CPL).
