Believe it or not, fiber optic cables have been around since the 1950s, but how do they work? It turns out the answer isn't that complicated.

Nature is filled with remarkable visual phenomena created by microscopic surface structures that interact with light in ...

Researchers have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and cameras. "Walking ...

Researchers made nanoporous SiO2 coatings for ultraviolet laser optics, achieving uniform large area films and higher damage ...

The Goos-Hänchen effect describes a small but measurable lateral shift of an optical beam when it reflects or refracts at an interface, deviating from the path predicted by geometrical optics. This ...

Optical imaging has had a central role in elucidating the underlying biological and physiological mechanisms in living specimens owing to its high spatial resolution, molecular specificity and minimal ...
