On the third floor of the University of Delaware’s Du Pont Hall, electrical engineers analyze delicate, centimeter-sized computer chips on a large optical table surrounded by oscilloscopes, lenses and ...

Stanford engineers debuted a new framework introducing computational tools and self-reflective AI assistants, potentially advancing fields like optical computing and astronomy.

Optical isolation and nonreciprocal devices are pivotal components in modern photonic systems, ensuring unidirectional light propagation and safeguarding sensitive equipment from unwanted reflections.

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...

Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...

A tiny device can control laser light very precisely while using much less power, making it possible to build bigger and ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NTT Corporation (NTT, Head office: Chiyoda-ku Tokyo; President & CEO: Akira Shimada) has developed a digital coherent signal processing circuit and optical device that achieves ...

A new "lensless" device could help, as it uses light to instantly detect harmful microorganisms. Usually, in order to check drinking water for bacteria, a sample of that water must be cultured in a ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for understanding response to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. Obtaining such ...
