Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible. How do lenses work? How do they form images? Well, in order to understand how optics work, we have to understand ...

A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...

Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.

Optical physics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and its interaction with matter. This includes classical optical phenomena such as reflection, refraction, diffraction and ...

Joost van Mameren explains how quantitative force measurements by optical tweezers can unravel the mechanical properties of biological molecules 1 Forces at work in optical tweezers Qualitative ...

Optical metrology is the science and technology of making measurements with use of light as standards or information carriers. Although optical metrology is a rapidly growing area, it is not a new ...
