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 ...

BARRINGTON, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Edmund Optics(R), leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical components, now internally manufactures short pulse optics with low group delay ...

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 ...

Wavelength and propagation direction (angle) are two fundamental properties of light. The ability to selectively control both a specific wavelength and a specific angle forms the physical foundation ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

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 ...

US-based cable specialist Corning looks at some of the technical issues that need to be considered when fibre optic cable projects are undertaken. W ith the arrival of several submarine fibre optic ...

A new book on infrared spectroscopy picks up where all previous books leave off. Jena-based scientist PD Dr. Thomas Mayerhöfer has written the first book on infrared spectroscopy that explains spectra ...
