Physicists at Peking University have uncovered a new way to confine light far beyond conventional limits — without relying on ...

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 ...

Optomechanical microcavities are extremely small structures with diameters of less than 10 micrometers (about a tenth of a human hair) inside which light and mechanical vibrations are confined. Thanks ...

Lasers that transmit data on optical fibers do not produce monochromatic light. Instead, they provide a narrow spectrum that includes many wavelengths. The physical characteristics of optical fibers ...
