Optical lens advancement has long been regarded as a significant indicator of human scientific progress. Eyeglasses, cameras, telescopes, and microscopes have all enabled to see the world in a new light, both literally and metaphorically.
According to Australian scientists who created a nanotech imaging device small enough to fit on a smartphone camera lens, it can make the detection of some diseases accessible and inexpensive for individuals in rural and isolated areas.
By combating the inherent limitations of electrons, optical computing utilizes photons rather than electrons to conduct computations, which can substantially enhance the speed and energy performance of computations.
Nanowire (NW) lasers with the NW concurrently serving as optical cavity and gain medium are appealing for miniaturized photonic integration platforms, which have advantages of ultracompact footprint, low energy consumption, easy integration, and potential mass production.
Scientists have designed an affordable microscopic imaging device that is small in size to fit on the lens of a smartphone camera, potentially making the detection of diseases on mobile more economical and accessible.
The extensive lineage of laser-based operations has made a significant contribution to the production, modification, and patterning of numerous nanomaterial systems over the years.
NIL Technology (NILT), a leader in modern optical solutions, announces that they are releasing highly precise nanostructured flat optics that are ideal for 3D sensing and machine vision applications in metaverse products.
Photonic integrated circuits are essential to many technologies, including fiber-optic communications, mapping systems, and biosensors.
PSI scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths.
Graphene is the thinnest material ever produced, with the thickness of a single atomic layer, thinner than a billionth of a meter, it is able to efficiently absorb light from the visible to the infrared through the photoexcitation of its charge carriers.
