Similarly, if the photon's circular polarization could be measured, it would reveal information about the Dirac structure of the weak current [3]. Their laboratory studies suggest that the ultraviolet light should have a circular polarization "comparable" to that of the infrared, the researchers say, but the exact percentage may differ. Furthermore, ALPS allows users to select between linear or circular polarization to match the application or the eyewear. |
