Hank Hogan

Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, have demonstrated a way to exploit the third dimension to create tiny optical components. Going vertical should enable the fabrication of densely integrated optical structures and offer precise control over the interaction between optical elements. Moreover, the method promises total integration of optics and electronics. The add/drop filter comprises microdisk resonators vertically coupled to waveguides. The resonant wavelength of each microdisk is determined by its size. Courtesy of Prakash Koonath. “This processing is...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
