Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

Stanford University researchers say they have developed a nanoscale optical device that could shift the direction of quantum communication. Unlike today’s quantum computers that operate near absolute ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

A team of researchers at the USC’s (University of Southern California) Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has designed what it calls “the first optical device that follows ...

Cornell researchers have built a programmable optical chip that can change the color of light by merging photons, without requiring a new chip for new colors. This form of nonlinear photonics could ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a chip-based method to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures – a process called photonic origami. The technique could produce ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b) to achieve helical bending (c) and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Graphic illustrating MIT’s new platform for manipulating light on the nanoscale. Thin structures represent patterned chromium sulfide bromide, a layered quantum material with different optical ...

In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes the limits of modern optics through nanophotonics, the manipulation of light ...
