Polarized light is one of the most powerful tools scientists have for peering inside matter, yet the way it twists, scatters and transforms inside real-world materials has long been treated as a black ...

Modern artificial intelligence models have an environmental impact, especially when it comes to image generation. But as demand for these models grows, UCLA engineering professor Aydogan Ozcan and his ...

Transferring optical information in free space with large bandwidth and high transmission capacity has gained significant attention in various applications, such as remote sensing, underwater ...

In polarization analysis, the real structure of a retarder sample may consist of multiple layers or a continuous, nonlayered structure (left). Conventional approaches typically model the sample as a ...

Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has introduced DeepSeek-OCR, an open-source model accompanied by a research paper that pioneers a novel "optical compression" method aimed at reducing ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have designed a simplified optical filter for the passive thermal management of interdigitated back-contact (IBC) photovoltaic panels.

Transferring optical information in free space with large bandwidth and high transmission capacity has gained significant attention in various applications, such as remote sensing, underwater ...

Astronomy has always relied on optical instruments, from the early Galilean telescope to fiber-fed spectrographs, so much so that astronomy and modern optics are called astrophotonics. Since ...
