A project from the Harvard SEAS lab of metamaterials developer Federico Capasso could help address the issue of unwanted light dispersion in optical systems. This could be a particular benefit for ...

The relentless demand for higher bandwidth and lower latency in global telecommunications continues to drive innovation in fibre optic systems. Dispersion, the phenomenon where different wavelengths ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a problem that’s limited imaging and display technologies for years. By ...

The achromatic lens can focus the incident RCP and LCP light onto two distinct positions without chromatic aberration over a wide bandwidth. Broadband achromatic wavefront control, a cornerstone of ...

Diamond coatings are considered a key technology for numerous industrial applications—from power electronics to optics to ...

Unlike existing photodetectors that construct and integrate wavelength- and/or polarization-sensitive elements in space or time to improve the detection ability (range and sensitivity), this ...

BARRINGTON, N.J., Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Everix has partnered with Edmund Optics to provide global access to its growing ultra-thin optical filter product line. With this, Edmund Optics becomes ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many colors. The trick combines two geometric phase effects so each spin channel ...
