As data rates in optical networks increase, designers need to pay increasing attention to peculiarities in the fiber-optic medium.One of the most important of these peculiarities is dispersion, ...

BARRINGTON, N.J., Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Edmund Optics(R), leading global manufacturer and supplier of optical components, now internally manufactures short pulse optics with low group delay ...

A project from the Harvard SEAS lab of metamaterials developer Federico Capasso could help address the issue of unwanted light dispersion in optical systems. This could be a particular benefit for ...

Unlike existing photodetectors that construct and integrate wavelength- and/or polarization-sensitive elements in space or time to improve the detection ability (range and sensitivity), this ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a problem that’s limited imaging and display technologies for years. By ...

Despite of impressive successes already achieved on metasurfaces, most fascinating light-manipulation effects were only demonstrated under normal-incidence excitations. The angular dispersions of the ...

Researchers have shown that high-dispersion mirrors can replace prisms and gratings to produce efficient laser output from a compact source. Ti:sapphire femtosecond lasers currently use optical ...
