The future of electronics will be based instead on using laser light to control electrical signals, opening the door for the establishment of “optical transistors” and the development of ultrafast optical electronics.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
The ability to control light using a semiconductor device could allow low-power, relatively inexpensive sources like LEDs or flashlight bulbs to replace more powerful laser beams in new technologies.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Computing using light can potentially provide lower latency and reduced power consumption, benefiting from the parallelism of optical systems.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Using a new fabrication method, researchers developed a single-lens telescope and captured clear images of the lunar surface — achieving greater resolution of objects and much farther imaging distance than previous metalenses.
Application Briefs: Photonics/Optics
As the tolerances for photonics systems become more demanding, controlling the grinding of optical components must also become more precise.
Application Briefs: Lighting
Manufacturers can meet industry requirements thanks to the exact inspection of the individual components that is continuously improved using AI.
