A German-Japanese research team involving the University of Augsburg has made a significant breakthrough in the use of ...

Researchers from two laboratories at ULB have realized a synthetic dimension for light using a fiber optic ring. This ingenious system simulates the periodic motion of a particle in a crystal in order ...

Nonlinear optical materials are essential for advanced photonics and laser technologies, but researchers are still searching ...

A new generation of specialty optical fibers has been developed by physicists to cope with the challenges of data transfer expected to arise in the future age of quantum computing. A new generation of ...

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences. It is the study of light and matter and their interactions, and deals with electrons, atoms, ...

Optical metrology is the science and technology of making measurements with use of light as standards or information carriers. Although optical metrology is a rapidly growing area, it is not a new ...

With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...

Photonics and optoelectronics are branches of science and technology that deal with the generation, manipulation, and detection of light (photons). While photonics focuses on the fundamental ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...
