Photonic Lattice, Inc. introduces a range of optical elements to produce axisymmetric polarizations at 1064nm – a new tool for applications including optical trapping, materials processing, optical ...

Conventional optics (e.g. lenses or mirrors) manipulate the phase via optical path difference by controlling thickness or refractive index of material. Recently, researchers reported that arbitrary ...

A highly efficient end-pumped microchip laser has for the first time been engineered to emit radially and azimuthally polarized light. Researchers in Japan have generated radially and azimuthally ...

(Nanowerk News) Terahertz (THz) waves, located between the millimeter and far-infrared frequency ranges, are an electromagnetic frequency band that is as-yet incompletely recognized and understood.
