In the push to shrink and enhance technologies that control light, MIT researchers have unveiled a new platform that pushes ...

Light can behave in very unexpected ways when you squeeze it into small spaces. In a paper in the journal Science, Mark ...

A silicon-lithium niobate metasurface controls light through air at gigahertz speeds, advancing compact systems for optical ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a groundbreaking metasurface that can replace bulky and complex optical components used ...

The device, reported in Advanced Photonics, functions as an optical black hole or optical white hole, and rests on a principle known as “coherent perfect absorption” of light waves.

The new microcomb devices, which work as pairs of conjoined optical tracks, also work when larger numbers are combined. (Image: Yuan, Bowers, Vahala, et al.) As noted above, these ULL microcombs are ...
