Researchers have designed a new device that can efficiently create multiple frequency-entangled photons, a feat that cannot be achieved with today's optical devices. The new approach could open a path ...

These devices are the first to demonstrate simultaneous control of all four optical degrees of freedom, namely, amplitude, phase, polarization ellipticity, and polarization orientation--a world record ...

Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum ...

Optical solitons represent a unique phenomenon in nonlinear optics whereby light waves maintain their integrity over long distances by balancing dispersion with nonlinear effects. When these solitons ...

The quality of optical systems has a high influence on users' immersion experience when using VR, AR, or MR. With the birth of Micro LED-based micro-displays in 2022 and the popularity of optical ...

"Since hBN is used so widely in 2D material–based devices, this novel usage as an optical waveguide potentially has wide-ranging impacts." Graphene and TMD monolayers are both extremely sensitive to ...

Circuit scaling is starting to hit a wall as the laws of physics clash with exponential increases in the volume of data, forcing chipmakers to take a much closer look at silicon photonics as a way of ...

Augmented reality (AR) technology developer Magic Leap has signed an agreement with the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer ...

It makes sense that some of the giant telescopes being built by researchers across the world would require special optical technology to analyze distant space objects and light. In one case ...

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...

The Israel-based optics company unveiled ZOE, a wide field-of-view waveguide exceeding 70 degrees, alongside an optimized ...
