As data rates in optical networks increase, designers need to pay increasing attention to peculiarities in the fiber-optic medium.One of the most important of these peculiarities is dispersion, ...

BARRINGTON, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Edmund Optics(R), leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical components, now internally manufactures short pulse optics with low group delay ...

A project from the Harvard SEAS lab of metamaterials developer Federico Capasso could help address the issue of unwanted light dispersion in optical systems. This could be a particular benefit for ...

Unlike existing photodetectors that construct and integrate wavelength- and/or polarization-sensitive elements in space or time to improve the detection ability (range and sensitivity), this ...

Despite of impressive successes already achieved on metasurfaces, most fascinating light-manipulation effects were only demonstrated under normal-incidence excitations. The angular dispersions of the ...

Researchers have shown that high-dispersion mirrors can replace prisms and gratings to produce efficient laser output from a compact source. Ti:sapphire femtosecond lasers currently use optical ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

When evaluating a patient who is unhappy with his or her cataract surgery yet has good Snellen visual acuity, we should approach the patient like one who is unhappy with a new pair of glasses.

Fiber optics provides a transmission medium that surpasses coax cable in many ways, especially for long transmission runs. But now with HD-SDI, the need for high-frequency capacity and low loss brings ...
