Metasurfaces, ultrathin engineered structures comprised of subwavelength nanoantennas, have emerged as a transformative platform in modern optics. Their ability to manipulate light—controlling phase, ...

Optical logic gates represent a cutting‐edge approach to perform computation entirely with light, bypassing the limitations inherent to electronic components. By exploiting light’s phase, intensity, ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...

Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...

Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest ...

All-optical modulation technology is considered an emerging research field that may have a significant impact in the future. As compared to the conventional electrical modulation technology, the most ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human eye's remarkable ability to detect edges—the boundaries between light and dark areas in our visual field—is a fundamental aspect of how we perceive the world. This ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Corporation (NTT, Head office: Chiyoda-ku Tokyo; President & CEO: Akira Shimada) has developed a digital coherent signal processing circuit and optical device that achieves ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

It's ironic that in places where drinking water needs to be checked for microbes the most, labs that can perform the analysis are least likely to be present. A new "lensless" device could help, as it ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...
