Follow along as Machine Design interviews John Ellis, an entrepreneur, inventor and founder of Massachusetts-based engineering consulting firm Optics for Hire. The Optics for Hire team—a group of ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using organic electro-optic polymer (hereinafter referred to as EO ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

Meta-optics is a rapidly emerging field that combines the principles of metamaterials and optical engineering to control and manipulate light in unprecedented ways. It involves the design and ...

Light can be tailored, much like cloth, weaving and stitching a pattern into the very fabric of light itself. This so-called structured light allows us to access, harness and exploit all light's ...

Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Perot resonators will ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: TOKUDA Hideyuki, Ph.D.) has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using the organic ...
