In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the ...

A new adaptive optics technology is set to transform gravitational-wave detection, allowing LIGO and future observatories like Cosmic Explorer to reach new heights. By correcting mirror distortions, ...

Researchers have developed a novel metasurface-based method to generate terahertz complex vector light fields using surface ...

Holographic photopolymers can be cast onto and around other optical elements, then patterned with a 3D routed waveguide to form hybrid integrated photonics. While multi-photon initiation can be used ...

The group has successfully demonstrated an innovative optical technology that could potentially extend the detection range of ...

Operation of these systems rely, in part, on specialized optical components such as output couplers ... The anechoic chambers designed and built by the Submillimeter-Wave Technology Laboratory use our ...

There have been great efforts in the past 20 years to pursue high-efficiency broadband optical gain and very low reflectivity in waveguide structures, which are two key factors determining the ...

An intriguing consequence of this is are 'singular' features of waves, such as optical vortices (wave dislocations), which are lines in three dimensions around which optical energy circulates. Our ...

In the center, pulse compression is demonstrated as the metasurface adjusts the phase of the optical wave, enabling tighter pulse widths essential for high-speed communications. On the right, the ...

By removing the cladding in a small section of the fiber, the evanescent wave is exposed to the environment. As light travels through the optical fiber, the evanescent wave interacts with gold ...
