The breakthrough relies on microring modulators, which are tiny ring-shaped devices made from silicon that manipulate light ...

The basic principles of geometric optics were laid down by Plato and Euclid. They included ideas such as the propagation of light in straight lines, and simple laws of reflection from plain mirrors.

Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT are notorious for being power-hungry. To tackle this challenge, a team from the ...

"My comparison between quantum and classical light fields literally forced us to think about the relationship between classical interference with intensity maxima/minima and quantum-mechanical ...

A heart cockle shell has been found to let in light through a design that resembles fiber optic cables. This could inspire everything from helping coral survive to designing new camera lenses.

Applications are now open for the 2026 SPIE Prism Awards. The awards, presented by SPIE, the international society for optics ...

The Vivo V30 series includes a standard model and a Pro model. Both are sleek and stylish devices.

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

"What provides the sensation of color is our ability to compare how much light each receptor class collects," Duke's Sonke Johnsen, author of the book Optics for Biologists, told me.
