Researchers in Germany have unveiled an ultra-fast light switch made of very thin semiconductor ...

Reliably tracking and manipulating the mammalian nervous system in laboratory or clinical settings allows neuroscientists to test their hypotheses, which may in turn lead to new important discoveries.

Currently, Kyocera’s technology enables aerial images whose focal positions vary by wavelength. In the future, increasing the ...

Harvard researchers have found that silica, long thought to lack the right properties for optical metasurfaces, can sometimes ...

Mott insulators, governed by strong correlations, exhibit exceptional nonlinear optics. Guided by first-principles, ...

Andrew Weiner and Daniel Leaird found a way to put a single pulse of light into an arrayed wave guide grating and get a rapid-fire burst of 21 light pulses out of it, with each pulse separated by only ...

The seamless integration of optical systems into medical devices presents both unique challenges and significant opportunities.

Optical device maker EZconn is seeing strong revenue and gross profit growth in the first quarter of 2024, thanks to the robust demand from broadband infrastructure construction in the US and ...

A new "lensless" device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganisms. Usually, in order to check drinking water for bacteria, a sample of that water must be cultured in a ...

Optical vector analysis has emerged as a critical tool for characterising optical devices, enabling simultaneous measurement of amplitude and phase responses over wide bandwidths. This technique is ...
