Vision, microscopy, imaging, optical data projection and storage all depend on focusing of light. Dynamic focusing is conventionally achieved with mechanically reconfigurable lenses, spatial light ...

Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology, reporting on November 28, 2025, in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, describe a new optoelectrowetting-based droplet dispensing system ...

Researchers have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of spatial light modulation to integrated optics. Silicon photonics are forming the backbone of ...

Image showing gold contacts where we bias each laser with DC current. Light is out-coupled from the racetracks using the directional-coupler waveguides along the straight section of either racetrack.

A teams of researchers from South Africa and Tunisia have demonstrated that adding light patterns to optical communications can bring significant bandwidth benefits. This new dimension in light ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton (UK), and the Institut d'Optique in Bordeaux (France) have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of ...
