Nano-Optics Technology: Optical Alchemy

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary optics holds the key to progress.

Hubert Kostal, NanoOpto Corp.

Optics today needs alchemy, and the forces that motivate microchip technology are a key reason why. Today, light can transmit and process digital information as well as electricity can — in some ways, even better. But exploiting this potential requires the optical equivalent of microchips and the optical alchemy able to create them. However, what we have had to date is largely the outgrowth of a centuries-old technology: bulk optics. Old optics, new applications From the days of the early lens grinders, bulk optics manufacturers have focused on bringing real-world images to...Read full article
