Nature is filled with remarkable visual phenomena created by microscopic surface structures that interact with light in ...
Researchers made nanoporous SiO2 coatings for ultraviolet laser optics, achieving uniform large area films and higher damage ...
Researchers in Germany have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and ...
Porous materials are the preferred choice for high-power laser coating applications. Scientists in China developed a method ...
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 ...
The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...
