A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially ...

Here we demonstrate a monolithic waveguide as long as 27 m (39 m optical path length), and featuring broadband loss rate values of (0.08±0.01) dB m−1 measured over 7 m by optical backscatter.

Knight Optical – the leading supplier of on-spec, metrology-tested optical components – has a wide-ranging portfolio of UV Fused Silica optics available from stock or as made-to-order components..

The new ultralow loss optical microresonators can be finely tuned by simply rotating two intersecting optical fibers. Unlike current monolithic microresonators, these devices have a widely tunable ...

However, challenges such as precision fabrication and optical loss have hindered the confinement of optical fields to sub-10 nanometer (nm) or even 1-nm levels. But now, ...
