The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220010 considers optical logic gates in future computers. If you are reading this on your smartphone, its CPU (central processing ...

The nonlinear susceptibility is a measure of a material's nonlinear response to an applied electric field. It determines the strength of the nonlinear effects and is related to the crystal's symmetry ...

Precision optical coatings are key technologies for modern optical systems. These complex coatings impose stringent requirements for uniformity, process stability and productivity on an industrial ...

Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings represent a key innovation in optics. AR coatings are central to the proper manipulation of light, mitigating Fresnel reflection, enhancing system throughput and ...

The Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system based on Phase-Sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) uses narrow-linewidth lasers as high-coherence light sources, utilizing Rayleigh ...
