Industry analysis indicates that the market is moving decisively beyond simple LED replacement fixtures toward integrated, smart-ready lighting systems. The core challenge for optical manufacturers is ...

A nanoscale optical device has been developed that allows independent control over the intensity and phase of light. By applying voltage, this innovative device can freely manipulate the phase and ...

Researchers have created a bilayer metasurface made of two stacked layers of titanium dioxide nanostructures, opening new possibilities for structuring light. Almost a decade ago, Harvard engineers ...

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)-led research team has adopted gyromagnetic double-zero-index metamaterials (GDZIMs)—a new optical extreme-parameter material—and developed a ...

Engineers built a nanoscale optical device that uses voltage to control light's phase and intensity, advancing quantum communication and compact optical technologies. The device, developed by ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

FULLERTON, Calif. - A test of fiber-optic lighting technology in refrigerated display cases at an Albertsons store here indicated that the technology consumed one-third as much energy as fluorescent ...

A tiny optical booster built directly onto a chip is pointing toward a future where light, not just electricity, does the heavy lifting inside our computers. By cranking up light signals roughly 100 ...
