Flat optics are made of nanostructures containing high-refractive index materials to produce lenses with thin form factors that function only at specific wavelengths. Materials scientists have ...

Researchers have designed an optical lens with the highest free-space numerical aperture to date, achieving a value of just under 1. As the numerical aperture indicates the highest possible resolution ...

When reflecting on science and research, it is hard to find a technology that is as important as microscopy. Microscopy is not only of utmost importance as a tool for conducting research, there is ...

The future of semiconductor technology is often viewed through the lenses of photolithography equipment, which continues to offer better resolution for future process nodes despite an almost perpetual ...

Dutch company ASML has made a lot of news over the past six months by unveiling the world's first High-NA (numerical aperture) lithography machine. The cutting-edge device offers upgraded specs and ...

The measurement of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber, which is the maximum angle at which the core of the fiber will take in light that will be contained within the core. Taken from the fiber ...
