Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS image: The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously.

Scientists develop a means of creating 'hopfion' crystals, complex, knot-like patterns of light that repeat across both space and time.

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Diffraction gratings, which spatially split light into its constituent frequencies, are an essential component of modern telescopes. However, improvements in their efficiency have stagnated ...

Shadow casting is based on light rays interacting with different geometries, whereas diffraction casting is based on properties of the light wave itself, which results in more spatially efficient ...

Discover the power of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) in nanotechnology. This glossary entry explains the technique, its principles, and applications in materials science, pharmaceuticals, and more.

An international research partnership between Singapore and Japan has revealed a blueprint for organizing unique, knot-like ...

Inprentus provides beamline scientists with the world’s most advanced diffraction gratings for x-ray applications, offering unparalleled efficiency and high resolving power Champaign, Illinois, USA, ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Scientists have advanced metasurface technology by developing a new design that simultaneously projects holographic images and creates special diffraction patterns with ten-fold rotation symmetry of ...
