Comprised of judiciously engineered microscopic photonic structures with subwavelength features, the concept of metasurface and metamaterials have proven fruitful results in the realm of meta-optics.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The concepts of metamaterials and metasurfaces have spawned massive novel applications in free-space optics. However, recent research also indicates that they possess prominent ...

Optical fibers provide an excellent platform for transmitting light over long distances, manipulating it and enhancing ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics. These engineered materials offer precise control over lights behavior, but ...

Waveguides are structures designed to direct and control the propagation of electromagnetic waves from one point to another. They play a crucial role in various fields, including telecommunications, ...

What are modal effects? Integrated photonics—the devices and the materials used to make them happen. One of the key planar-waveguide configurations: the ring resonator. The roots of waveguide optics ...

Quantum communication has long promised unbreakable encryption, but the hardware has struggled to escape the lab. A new generation of laser-written glass chips is changing that equation, carving three ...

Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can integrate photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs) like CPUs and GPUs on a single platform. This advanced technology has ...

Augmented reality (AR) technology developer Magic Leap has signed an agreement with the Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer Pegatron, in a move that should see the latter ramp production of optical ...
