1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Plasmonic polarization conversion offers significant advantages over conventional methods, including a smaller device footprint and easier integration into photonic circuits. In this work, we numerically and experimentally investigate the polarization conversion properties of a plasmonic double-hole structure surrounded by circular nanograting, i.e., a bull's eye antenna. Using a combination of polarimetric imaging via back focal plane (BFP) microscopy and Stokes parameter analysis, we demonstrate the functionality of our structure as a miniature on-chip polarization converter. Our results show that this nanostructure enables complex polarization transformations, including converting linear to circular polarization and vice versa. Polarization conversion efficiency is found to be dependent on the periodicity of the circular gratings and is particularly pronounced in the central region of Fourier space. Moreover, strong asymmetric scattering leads to distinctive patterns in the Stokes parameters across various incident polarization states. This work provides insights into the plasmonic manipulation of light polarization at the nanoscale with potential applications in miniature on-chip polarization convertors, polarization-controlled emitters, and advanced sensing technologies.
