Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a ...

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

This book traces the evolution of our understanding of optics and light, from early Greek theories of vision through to the nineteenth century formulation of the wave theory of light. It describes ...

The book, "Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy: Theory, Simulation, and Modeling," does away with this simplification and opens the view to undiscovered potentials of infrared spectroscopy. Infrared ...

THE revised edition of Prof. SouthalPs text-book of geometrical optics, in addition to a number of new problems scattered throughout the book, contains an important new chapter at the end of the ...

The team has developed a groundbreaking optical chip that uses light not only to send data faster than ever before, but also ...

The Book of Optics is Ibn Al-Haytham seven-volume treatise on optics The UN has called 2015 the International Year of Light, marking 1,000 years since the release of polymath Ibn Al-Haytham’s Book of ...

New quantum optics theory proposes that classical interference arises from bright and dark states of light. ... "For example, a classical standing-wave light field ...

Cory Pecinovsky, founder and CEO of the startup Polaris Electro-Optics, has bet his career on the proposition that the demand ...

And I don’t mean the plural “optics”—to pertain to the nature and properties of light and vision. A handful of quotations from print and broadcast media show us the kind of optics I mean.

Nano-optics is often discussed in conjunction with nanophotonics, a related field that focuses on the behavior of light and the interaction of light with nanostructures.While nano-optics emphasizes ...
