Large-aperture interferometers are important in the manufacturing and measurement of large-aperture optical elements, which play critical roles in the fields of optical precision manufacturing and ...

The past decades have witnessed the development of new X-ray beam sources with brightness growing at a rate surpassing Moore’s law. Current and upcoming diffraction limited and fully coherent X-ray ...

High-resolution tactile sensors are very helpful to robots for fine-grained perception and manipulation tasks, but designing those sensors is challenging. This is because the designs are based on the ...

In the past decade, optical sensing tasks have become more demanding. As a result, it has become critical to build miniaturized, inexpensive sensors that can be integrated on-chip to enable mobile ...

Researchers have harnessed nonlocal artificial materials to create optical systems that emulate parallel spaces, wormholes, and multiple realities. A single material acts as two distinct optical media ...

These metasurfaces could be useful in LiDAR applications, the light equivalent of radar, where light is used to capture the depth information from a three-dimensional scene. The ultimate dream is to ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...
