The rapid evolution of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) is reshaping space telescope design by offering lightweight, compact and high-performance alternatives to conventional optical systems. These ...

Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have unveiled a new optical technology that enables precise focusing of light—only in one direction. This novel unidirectional focusing ...

A new plasmonic fiber probe uses linearly polarized light and energy recycling for broadband nanofocusing with resolution ...

Inprentus continues to serve critical global customers on 5 continents. Inprentus was founded in 2012 by University of Illinois Physics Professor Peter Abbamonte to commercialize a novel method for ...

The total amount of data generated worldwide is expected to reach 175 ZB (Zettabytes; 1 ZB equals 1 billion Terabytes) by 2025. If 175 ZB were stored on Blu-ray disks, the disk stack would be 23 times ...

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 ...

Physicists at The City College of New York have developed a technique with the potential to enhance optical data storage capacity in diamonds. This is possible by multiplexing the storage in the ...

A single MXene-based optical gate switches between seven Boolean logic functions via voltage, enabling trainable photonic ...
