The rapid evolution of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) is reshaping space telescope design by offering lightweight, compact and high-performance alternatives to conventional optical systems. These ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd. is a leading international manufacturer of large diameter, ultra-smooth off-axis parabolic mirrors for demanding applications. Looking to develop their next generation of ...

Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

The total amount of data generated worldwide is expected to reach 175 ZB (Zettabytes; 1 ZB equals 1 billion Terabytes) by 2025. If 175 ZB were stored on Blu-ray disks, the disk stack would be 23 times ...

In a recent article published in the journal ACS Applied Optical Materials, researchers presented new methods for fabricating and manipulating surface microstructures using azopolymer materials ...

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 ...

Now you see it: A schematic of the experiment, in which an optical diffractive camera hides information by concealing it within ordinary-looking “dummy” patterns. (Courtesy: A Ozcan) Information ...

Researchers from Regensburg and Birmingham have overcome a fundamental limitation of optical microscopy. With the help of ...

At Holographix, we design and manufacture cost-effective, high performance replicated custom diffraction gratings to customer specifications. We produce a wide range of custom solutions, including ...
