Photonics researchers have demonstrated how self-imaging of light, a phenomenon known for nearly two centuries, can be applied to cylindrical systems, facilitating unprecedented control of light's ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

Peking University, Aug 18, 2025: Professor Xi Peng’s team from the College of Future Technology at Peking University has recently developed a triangle structured illumination microscopy (SIM), which ...

Whereas sunlight is incoherent, laser sources produce coherent light (i.e., when light displays not only the same color, but also the same phase). For everyday uses, humans employ incoherent light ...

Miniature microscopes able to be mounted on living animals are a major topic of research, thanks to their potential for imaging neural activity in vivo. Current examples include the MINI2P probe, ...

A 3D structured-light imaging system creates the human-like capabilities deployed in the design of a Robomotive humanoid robot jointly developed by Yaskawa Motoman, Beltech, and Robotiq. The so-called ...

Researchers of photonics from Tampere University, Finland, and Kastler-Brossel Laboratory, France, have demonstrated how self-imaging of light, a phenomenon known for nearly two centuries, can be ...
