Structured light can significantly enhance information capacity, due to its coupling of spatial dimensions and multiple degrees of freedom. In recent years, the combination of structured light ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

As electro-optic circuits are more frequently applied in consumer, commercial, government and communications products, there is a general need for greater optical control and tighter electro-optical ...

Laser Center Hannover (LZH) is helping to expand the testing methods for optics used in modern high-power laser components. In the “cw-LIDT” research project, LZH is working together with companies ...

Researchers at Korea University, Seoul, have developed a new all-optical method for driving multiple highly dense nanolaser arrays. The approach could enable chip-based optical communication links ...

Lately, planar liquid crystal (LC) optics is emerging as a novel holographic optical element (HOE). Besides the ability to record and reproduce arbitrary wavefront as in traditional HOEs, planar LC ...

Combining a plaque-binding fluorescent dye with flat and tapered optical fibers enables depth-resolved monitoring across brain regions during natural behavior, offering a minimally invasive way to ...

AI-enhanced optical spectroscopy revolutionizes food quality monitoring with rapid, non-destructive analysis, ensuring safety and reducing waste in production.

Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain, but most ways of studying these deposits in mouse models require sacrificing the animals. That limits researchers’ ability ...
