Integrated optical semiconductor (hereinafter referred to as optical semiconductor) technology is a next-generation technology for which many researches and investments are being made worldwide because it can make complex ...
A team of researchers from the Institute of Optics of CSIC and the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) of Barcelona has proposed a new design to implement highly directional single-photon sources, which constitutes an improvement ...
By enabling the recording and reconstruction of faint light beams containing a single particle of light, a new technique opens the door to holographic imaging of remote objects.
Light, with its countless colors, is one of the wonders of nature. To truly understand what we see, it is essential to know the precise colors of the light with which we perceive our world. We achieve this by means of optical ...
In the photonic synthetic dimension, the coupling of internal degrees of freedom of photons, such as frequency, spatial mode, and orbital angular momentum, generates extra dimensions in addition to real space. This approach ...
Refractive index—the ratio of the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a medium to its speed in a vacuum—can be modulated fast enough to generate photonic time crystals (PTCs) in the near-visible part of the spectrum, ...
For over a decade, teams have been working to design and prepare for the rebirth of the APS. Now, the moment is here.
Ph.D. candidate Petr Steindl creates complex structures of light using single photons. As a teenager, he wanted to study Czech poetry but decided on quantum physics. "Looking back, I am glad I switched fields," he says. On ...
We interact with bits and bytes everyday—whether that's through sending a text message or receiving an email.
Constant monitoring of vital health signs is needed in a variety of clinical environments such as intensive care units, for patients with critical health conditions, health monitoring in aged care facilities and prisons, ...
