In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

A code sleuth has found new details about how Apple Vision Pro Optical Inserts will need to be set up and paired, and the process is a little involved. Apple Vision Pro is a tight fit, so users will ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (NINS, Japan) and SOKENDAI have demonstrated a more than 2000% voltage-induced enhancement of near-field nonlinear optical responses. To achieve this ...

Earlier this year, Apple announced its first mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro. The Vision Pro is not just an AR/VR headset, but a self-sufficient computer that offers a revolutionary way to ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

TriQuint Semiconductor (Hillsboro, OR) recently announced a new foundry process that will enable cost-effective millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications. Called TQP15, this 150-mm GaAs commercial foundry ...

The international optical and photonic components market reached over $300 billion in 2020. Optical processing starts with raw materials and finishes with finely crafted optical components. The ...

Forvia has been granted a patent for a process to manufacture optical lenses from glass. The method involves tempering a glass blank, press-molding it between molds to form the lens, and using an ...
