Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...

How does color work, and how does the type of light source you use affect the colors you see? Appliance Science looks at the science of light and color. Richard Baguley Richard Baguley has been ...

The experimental setup shown here incorporates on-chip optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology to generate a frequency comb of laser-like light covering a wide range of frequencies with very ...

A week or so ago, I got a question on Facebook that was relayed from one of the kids of a college friend, which I'll paraphrase as "What's the physics explanation of what gives objects their color?" ...

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of scientific and industrial applications. From creating stupendously accurate clocks ...
