Scientists from the City University of Hong Kong’s Department of Physics revolutionized calvarial fracture imaging through the use of Raman spectroscopy. By allowing these defects to be imaged, the ...

Researchers at the University of Delaware have revealed an exciting opportunity for the market of energy efficient technologies. In a paper published in February’s issue of Optics Express, the team ...

In our prior blog post we discussed the properties and major uses of Antireflective Coatings. We also talked about how how anti-reflection is not a property of materials. Rather, it is a consequence of ...

Introduction Everyone knows or heard about UV or anti-reflective coatings on lenses and filters but what are they really and what distinguishes anti-reflective coatings from other types of coatings? We ...

Introduction to Diffraction Gratings Diffraction gratings are optical components that diffract and separate light into several beams at different angles by wavelength. Their working principle is hinged ...

Adaptive Optics Introduction The field of optics studies the behavior of light – a form of substance with a characteristic wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers for visible light to as ...

Introduction to Photodynamic Therapy in Skin Treatment This blog has previously discussed laser use in cosmetic skin treatments including skin resurfacing and tattoo removal. This week, however, we ...

If you need to control the state of polarization of your light or change the direction of polarization of your beam or change from linear polarization to circular polarization (or vice versa) or create any ...

Graphene (a form of fullerene) is a nanomaterial that has been attracting significant interest as a potential game changer for various applications. Energy storage, flexible transparent displays and ...

Sunlight can be brutal. It wears down even the strongest structures, including rooftops and naval ships, and it heats up metal slides and bleachers until they’re too hot to use. To fend off damage and heat ...
