Webb captured the object in infrared — light wavelengths that are invisible to human eyes but can pierce through thick dust.

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much ...

A team of researchers has succeeded in measuring the brightnesses and temperatures of Saturn’s rings using the mid-infrared images taken by the Subaru Telescope in 2008. The images are the highest ...

Experimental setup for computational temporal ghost imaging based on frequency downconversion. Preprogrammed probing temporal patterns generated from the arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) are applied ...

Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to ...

The mid-infrared spectral region offers an expansive window for applications including molecular spectroscopy, environmental monitoring and biomedical imaging. Supercontinuum generation in this domain ...

Physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a compact laser that emits extremely bright, short pulses of light in a useful but difficult-to ...
