Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

The total amount of data generated worldwide is expected to reach 175 ZB (Zettabytes; 1 ZB equals 1 billion Terabytes) by 2025. If 175 ZB were stored on Blu-ray disks, the disk stack would be 23 times ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

A broad range of optical devices use nanostructured layers and surfaces to manipulate beams of light through diffraction and interference. Example devices include diffraction gratings, metasurfaces, ...

At Holographix, we design and manufacture cost-effective, high performance replicated custom diffraction gratings to customer specifications. We produce a wide range of custom solutions, including ...

The THz- and Millimeterwave Techniques group is in search of a doctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary THz medical imaging research program developing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) and ...

NASA has funded further development of a new type of solar sail relying on diffractive optics, with the ultimate aim of a demonstration mission in space. The “Diffractive Solar Sailing” project has ...
