Metallic nanostructures are exceptionally effective at concentrating light into tiny volumes, while dielectric nanostructures ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using organic electro-optic polymer (hereinafter referred to as EO ...

Silicon photonics: A technology that forms optical circuits on silicon, a semiconductor material, and uses optical instead of ...

The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...

A method for configuring light-trapping devices promises better optical nanodevices by amplifying light and enhancing the emission efficiency of luminescent nanomaterials — without the need for ...

New research presents a strategy for observing and manipulating the optical Berry phase in Möbius ring microcavities. In their paper, the authors discuss how an optical Berry phase can be generated ...
