(Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional lenses made of glass can only focus light in a limited way, restricting many potential applications in optics and photonics. Now researchers have developed a new type ...
Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...
WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new method for flexibly creating various needle-shaped laser beams. These long, narrow beams can be used to improve optical coherence tomography (OCT), a ...
Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Metafiber, a breakthrough device that allows ultra-precise, rapid, and compact control of light focus directly within an optical fiber. Unlike traditional ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.230052 discusses structured light beams with controllable polarization along arbitrary trajectories. A structured light refers to ...
