Researchers have developed an ultra-thin collimation film that improves light precision in LCD resin-based 3D printers, potentially enabling affordable, medical-grade dental models. This advance could ...

A vertical drawing system lets researchers craft ultra-thin optical fibers with nanometer precision, enabling advances in quantum tech, sensors, and lasers. Micro/nano optical fibers—so thin their ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

Researchers from the Monash University School of Physics and Astronomy have flipped a long-held assumption in optics, showing that deliberately introducing controlled disorder into ultra-thin optical ...

Researchers designed and fabricated a double-sided structure collimation film (DSSCF) with better collimation characteristics thanks to additional trapezoidal microstructures that prevent the ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a groundbreaking metasurface that can replace bulky and complex optical components used in quantum computing with a single, ultra-thin, nanostructured layer. This ...

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials. Lenses ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focused in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures—enlarged in the magnifying glass.
