Metasurfaces are two-dimensional (2D), nanoengineered surfaces that interact strongly with electromagnetic waves and can ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than ...

Instead of relying on switches or digital control, the light finds its own path through the system. This approach could transform data transmission, computing, and communications by making optical ...

This video explains how LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) function and why they are widely used in modern electronics. LEDs ...

Researchers have harnessed nonlocal artificial materials to create optical systems that emulate parallel spaces, wormholes, ...

Researchers from NTNU and EPFL have unveiled a compact, low-cost laser that outperforms current models in speed, control, and ...

The sun is a dynamic part of our solar system, and it throws plasma and radiation out into space regularly. But not all of ...

Intelligent Waves will merge its cybersecurity and networking expertise with Signify's Light Fidelity and Free-Space Optics ...

Final tests of NASA's laser beam communication technology suggests we'll soon have a new way to keep in touch with astronauts and spacecraft venturing into deep space.

In a stunning leap for quantum optics, scientists have generated ultrafast light pulses whose quantum uncertainty can be ...

The technology hinges on what physicists call a frequency comb -- a laser that emits many distinct colors, or wavelengths, evenly spaced across the optical spectrum.
