The prototype, described as a nanostructured “active metamaterial,” was made from silver and an atomically thin semiconductor ...

The integration of beam splitters and grating structures is central to contemporary developments in optical engineering. These devices, which manipulate light via diffraction and interference, are ...

Comprised of judiciously engineered microscopic photonic structures with subwavelength features, the concept of metasurface and metamaterials have proven fruitful results in the realm of meta-optics.

All-optical image processing has been viewed as a promising technique for its high computation speed and low power ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

2D van der Waals magnetic/non-magnetic heterojunctions hold significant promise for spintronic devices. Achieving these functionalities hinges on the interfacial proximity effect, a critical factor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 – Future telescopes, with mirrors half the size of a football field, will need special components to deal with the light they collect. Astronomers are turning to photonic devices ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b) to achieve helical bending (c) and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).
