Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Announcing a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250312. Bone mineral density (BMD) has long been the "gold standard" for assessing fracture risk. However, clinicians ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials reports a new fabrication method for nonlinear optical components using nanostructured polycrystalline lithium niobate (LN). The study addresses key limitations ...

The Biophotonics and Translational Optical Imaging Lab is dedicated to developing novel optical technologies for imaging of living systems to improve understanding, diagnosis and interventions of ...

If you think of a single atom as a grain of sand, then a wavelength of visible light—which is a thousand times larger than the atom's width—is comparable to an ocean wave. The light wave can dwarf an ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...
