A light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology. Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped ...

A team of scientists has uncovered a crystal that can be reshaped and programmed using ordinary light, opening a new path for ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different optical patterns at once is extremely complicated, and remains a major ...

The patterns of light hold tremendous promise for a large encoding alphabet in optical communications, but progress is hindered by their susceptibility to distortion, such as in atmospheric turbulence ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has introduced a novel framework for monitoring structural vibrations using diffractive optical processors. This new ...

Image showing gold contacts where we bias each laser with DC current. Light is out-coupled from the racetracks using the directional-coupler waveguides along the straight section of either racetrack.

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a new generation of implants uses tiny LEDs and optical sensors to send ...
