In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Of the many feats achieved by artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to process images quickly and accurately has had an ...

A code sleuth has found new details about how Apple Vision Pro Optical Inserts will need to be set up and paired, and the process is a little involved. Apple Vision Pro is a tight fit, so users will ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely ...

Earlier this year, Apple announced its first mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro. The Vision Pro is not just an AR/VR headset, but a self-sufficient computer that offers a revolutionary way to ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

TriQuint Semiconductor (Hillsboro, OR) recently announced a new foundry process that will enable cost-effective millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications. Called TQP15, this 150-mm GaAs commercial foundry ...

Forvia has been granted a patent for a process to manufacture optical lenses from glass. The method involves tempering a glass blank, press-molding it between molds to form the lens, and using an ...
