Technique suits high-performance emitter-receiver systems for optical data transmission. KITted out: The novel optical wire bond is adapted to the position and orientation of the chips. A team of ...

Researchers have developed a new class of integrated photonic devices -- 'leaky-wave metasurfaces' -- that convert light initially confined in an optical waveguide to an arbitrary optical pattern in ...

Quantum optics and waveguide quantum electrodynamics represent rapidly evolving frontiers at the intersection of photonics and quantum science. These disciplines explore the fundamental interactions ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, ...

DigiLens, creators of waveguide optics, today announced a “deeper” partnership with Mitsubishi Chemical to bring a plastic version of its waveguide technology to the market. The companies claim the ...

WaveOptics, a UK startup that builds waveguide-based optics — technology based on hologram physics and photonic crystals — for augmented reality hardware, has raised $16 million (£12 million) to help ...

Holographic photopolymers can be cast onto and around other optical elements, then patterned with a 3D routed waveguide to form hybrid integrated photonics. While multi-photon initiation can be used ...
