Vision, microscopy, imaging, optical data projection and storage all depend on focusing of light. Dynamic focusing is conventionally achieved with mechanically reconfigurable lenses, spatial light ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring ...

Researchers have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of spatial light modulation to integrated optics. Silicon photonics are forming the backbone of ...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair.

A flexible optical identifier uses polarized emission from self-assembled crystal films to create two stable states that support tri modal authentication and improve reliability in secure device ...

Heart of the matter: cross-section of the designed heart-shaped phase singularity sheet (left). The extended dark region in the centre image is a cross-section of the singularity sheet. The phase ...

The basics of digital logic are pretty easy to master, and figuring out how the ones and zeroes flow through various kinds of gates is often an interesting exercise. Taking things down a level and ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton (UK), and the Institut d'Optique in Bordeaux (France) have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of ...
