A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could ...

Scientists have advanced metasurface technology by developing a new design that simultaneously projects holographic images and creates special diffraction patterns with ten-fold rotation symmetry ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS image: The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously.

Researchers have developed a blueprint for weaving hopfions—complex, knot-like light structures—into repeating spacetime ...

Scientists develop a means of creating 'hopfion' crystals, complex, knot-like patterns of light that repeat across both space and time.

In this way I endeavoured to secure that a cylindrical pencil of light of small cross-section should enter the camera.

An international research partnership between Singapore and Japan has revealed a blueprint for organizing unique, knot-like ...

Certain diffraction patterns, including blocking all of the light source, can actually be used as a lens as the light bends around the blockage into the center of the shadow where there can be ...
