In this episode, we cover a spiral-shaped lens that could transform ophthalmology, meta-optics set to advance thermal imaging, and a breathing soliton laser that prompts nonlinear discoveries.
On February 20th, we will launch Following the Photons: A Photonics Podcast, bringing you another way to get insights and views on the latest in the optics and photonics industry.
Join us on March 5th at 2 pm ET for a look at photonic topological interfaces (waveguides) researchers designed to guide light through a chip to reduce this loss of photons/backscattering.
Photon-cascade correlation spectroscopy enables peering into the quantum realm: Creating an image-in-time of photons reveals whether they tend to travel together or not, which allows researchers to extract information about their interactions.
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have a unique surface signature that determines how they reflect light—and it can be used to experimentally confirm the existence of topological states within real materials.
Multisequential, object-based architecture for modeling optical systems improves sequential optical design, analysis, optimization, and tolerancing capabilities with one program.
Researchers in Germany and Scotland explore how the visibility of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is affected by contamination and disprove an assumption that multiphoton components only impair visibility.
While the focus at the show was on advances in research, technology, and commercialization, I’m taking some time first to consider the people and the community’s vibe.
