Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

Lithium niobite (LN) with an ultra-wide optical transparent window has shown excellent nonlinear, electro-optic, acoustic-optic, piezoelectric, thermoelectric and photorefractive effects. It is an ...

Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...

Somerset, New Jersey—Emcore Corp, a provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for broadband, fiber optics, satellite, and wireless communications, now has a small form-factor ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a class of materials which can be reduced to the monolayer limit by mechanically peeling the layers apart. The weak interlayer attractions, or van der Waals ...

Nanophotonics and topology have gained significant interest due to the particular properties they offer. One area of focus is the investigation of topological edge states (TESs). These states have ...
