Using a bright squeezed vacuum to generate high harmonics enhances their yields—compared to classical coherent light—and provides a route to probe material properties beyond the...
The Defense Precision Optics Consortium, the research and manufacturing arm of the American Center for Optics Manufacturing (AmeriCOM), is open for business and accepting members...
A new quasicrystal design process—that enabled a structure with a 12-fold rotational symmetry—may prove useful for many photonic applications beyond plasmonics.
Pointing out areas in which we can improve is never easy, but Arne Leinse, CEO of LioniX International, always searches for areas of improvement in his work.
Birgit Stiller’s lab at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen and Leibniz University Hannover is pioneering building blocks for optoacoustic neural networks...
Holographic direct sound printing (HDSP) is an innovative advancement in sound-based 3D printing technology that uses a patterned acoustic field to create complex shapes with ...
Neutral-density (ND) filters and polarizers are two common optical components for applications within the visible and near-infrared (NIR) ranges. We measured light transmission...
New theory developed by Angela Demetriadou and Benjamin Yuen at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level—at last!
In a Q&A with Stephen Sweeney, a professor of photonics and nanotechnology at the University of Glasgow, he answers our questions about what’s up with space lasers and his work...
While the terahertz region remains largely unexplored, graphene plasmons present a unique pathway to reach new frontiers within terahertz-based signal processing.
