Every new generation of phone display, television screen and solar panel is the result of precision optics experiments, which ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

Light can be tailored, much like cloth, weaving and stitching a pattern into the very fabric of light itself. This so-called structured light allows us to access, harness and exploit all light's ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using organic electro-optic polymer (hereinafter referred to as EO ...
