Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...
A team of researchers at Penn State have devised a new, streamlined approach to designing metasurfaces, a class of engineered ...
Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...
A tunable metasurface can control optical light in space and time, offering a path toward new ways of wirelessly and securely transmitting large amounts of data both on Earth and in space. It is a ...
USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...
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 ...
Optical cavities, also known as optical resonators, are structures that confine light within a small volume by utilizing highly reflective surfaces. These cavities allow light to circulate or bounce ...
