Researchers used the Poisson spot effect to create stable optical skyrmions with a laser and disc, simplifying studies for ...

Scientists have advanced metasurface technology by developing a new design that simultaneously projects holographic images and creates special diffraction patterns with ten-fold rotation symmetry of ...

How a 3D-printed design can create a diffraction pattern in a simple science experiment about optics.

A pattern of distorted lines is visible as a reflection in this close-up view of a human eye. By observing the deformation of illumination patterns reflected off the eye's surface, researchers in ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...
