Xenon Source Offers Hemispheric Emission

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is an emerging form of light therapy that uses LEDs or low-intensity lasers that emit near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate the brain. Although tPBM is in the...

Researchers at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) developed a CMOS-based silicon LED that, though smaller than a wavelength, emits light at an intensity comparable to much...

Quantum technologies promise unparalleled computational power, leading to the development of new medicines and unbreakable cryptographic techniques for secure communications. But achieving seamless,...

An exciting prospect in modern optics is to exploit patterns of light — how the light looks in its many degrees of freedom — often referred to as “structured light.” Each...

In general, there are three common approaches to reducing mechanical excitation of photonic systems. The first is identifying the sources of vibration and implementing ways to eliminate or reduce...

Luminate is the world's largest Optics, Photonics and Imaging accelerator focused on advancing next-generation OPI-enabled companies. The accelerator program accepts ten companies per year to compete...

Members of the Capasso Group at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have successfully encoded multiple holographic images in a metasurface. The separate...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a single flat lens that can focus the entire visible spectrum of light in the same spot and in...

On this month's episode of Light Matters, we take you to the South by Southwest (SXSW) Trade Show in Austin, Texas, as new photonics innovations hit the show floor of the Austin Convention Center....
