Optical fibers show promise not just in long-range information transmission, but also in fully optical computers. Image courtesy of tOrange.biz What is optical computing? For many decades, the processing ...

Compound eyes provide insects with the ability to quickly react to danger. These eyes posses a much wider field-of-view, higher light sensitivity, and superior sensitivity to motion when compared to the ...

Ever since graphene sheets were isolated from bulk graphite in 2004, two-dimensional materials have received an immense amount of interest for their unexpected and novel electronic and optical properties. ...

Since the first demonstration of the laser in 1960, people have endeavored to make lasers more compact. Semiconductor lasers achieved this desired compactness employing so called heterostructures. This ...

Silicon photonics is the technology of using optical processing components made of silicon itself, rather than other materials. Electronic interconnects with copper contribute to high power consumption and ...

The manufacturing industry has come a long way from Ford’s car plants that spurred innovation in the U.S. The assembly line was a revolutionary tactic for efficiency, but modern manufacturing is much more ...

Previously, we discussed how visible light in combination with implantable optical sensors was used to map epileptic neural activity and localize focal seizures on the surface of the brain.  Scientists at ...

Optical technology has had a huge impact on our everyday lives. Sensational inventions like the self-driving car, Wi-Fi connected home appliances and automated assembly lines all use optical fibers or ...

Engineers at Harvard University have published their proposal for a large area lens design that addresses the high-demand of the technological age. With a nod to Moore’s Law, they sought to unify two ...

Researchers at the University of Delaware have revealed an exciting opportunity for the market of energy efficient technologies. In a paper published in February’s issue of Optics Express, the team ...
