A groundbreaking optical surface defies traditional rules of light, offering new possibilities in photonics and imaging.

Lumentum (LITE) could gain as Nvidia accelerates co-packaged optics (CPO) switches; see key timelines, supply-chain ramp, and laser demand upside—read more.

Dispersion is an inherent feature of electromagnetic waves. It allows light to behave differently at different wavelengths, which can be useful, but it also creates chromatic aberrations. As bandwidth ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route ...

A new metasurface design lets light of different spins bend, focus, and behave independently—while staying sharp across many ...

The research group led by Professor Yijun Feng and Professor Ke Chen from Nanjing University reports a hybrid-phase strategy ...

Researchers developed a nonlinear nonlocal metasurface that converts infrared light to visible and steers it by combining ...

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

Back for its eighteenth year this weekend, see the city glow after dark for this free, family-friendly event and explore ...

Their study appears in the journal Nature Photonics. How triplet-fusion upconversion works The research builds on a technique called triplet-fusion upconversion, which uses a combination of molecules ...

The Wordle word of the day on December 25 was prism, a word that feels almost unfairly elegant for something so relentlessly honest. A prism exists to intervene between appearance and understanding, ...
