Optical solitons represent a unique phenomenon in nonlinear optics whereby light waves maintain their integrity over long distances by balancing dispersion with nonlinear effects. When these solitons ...

Researchers have now achieved high-Q photonic flatbands that span the entire k-space of nonlocal metasurfaces and can be selectively tailored for linearly polarized or circularly polarized light, ...

Trace liquid analysis is crucial in fields such as biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and chemical process control. Traditional detection technologies often face bottlenecks including ...

These devices are the first to demonstrate simultaneous control of all four optical degrees of freedom, namely, amplitude, phase, polarization ellipticity, and polarization orientation--a world record ...

Vuzix, the US-based producer of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses, says that its new optical waveguide manufacturing facility is up and running, with devices now being sampled. Located adjacent to ...
