Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses diffraction-limited visible imaging for large aperture telescopes. The deformable mirror used in adaptive optics can change its surface to ...

The ghost catfish transforms from glassy to glam when white light passes through its mostly transparent body. Now, scientists know why. The fish’s iridescence comes from light bending as it travels ...

Microlenses have many applications, such as coupling light into fiber optics, enhancing light source uniformity in microdisplays, and focusing light onto imaging sensors in mobile phone cameras.
