A sharp-edged aperture is a promising solution for eliminating side lobes from superoscillatory waves. Optical superoscillation refers to a wave packet that can oscillate locally in a frequency ...
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...
Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...
Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...
At Holographix, we design and manufacture cost-effective, high performance replicated custom diffraction gratings to customer specifications. We produce a wide range of custom solutions, including ...
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that ...
High-precision alignment between the microlens array and the fiber-positioning microplate is of great significance in developing fiber-based integrated field units (IFU). In this paper, we propose a ...
Light changes matter in ways that shape our world. Photons trigger changes in proteins in the eye to enable vision; sunlight splits water into hydrogen and oxygen and creates chemicals through ...
In “What is Light?”, we described light as both a wave and a particle under the conditions of the wave-particle duality. In the previous posts, we have mostly modeled light as a ray when discussing ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...
