Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a problem that’s limited imaging and display technologies for years. By ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that 3D-printed polymer-based micro-optics can withstand the heat and power levels that occur inside a laser. The advance enables inexpensive compact and ...

Muhammad Akif Qadeer, who considers himself to be a curious person who wants to know how things work, came to RIT as an undergraduate student in 2018 to study physics. Qadeer had no plans to attend ...

The Optical Society of America (OSA) was founded in 1916 with the mission “To promote the generation, application, archiving and worldwide dissemination of knowledge in optics and photonics.” Based in ...

"The other day I was standing outside of a huge thermal-vacuum chamber and realized that I really enjoy learning and understanding complex systems," notes Jeremy Perkins, an astrophysicist working on ...

This week in San Diego, California, SPIE Optics + Photonics2023 ("O+P"), has been taking place with a packed program of plenary talks, conferences, panels, and training sessions, as well as a jobs ...

A new multi-layered metalens design has been developed at the Australian National University. This concept could revolutionise portable optics in devices like smartphones, drones, and satellites. This ...
