Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have unveiled a new optical technology that enables precise focusing of light—only in one direction. This novel unidirectional focusing ...

Photonics and optics — the fields of light — are like the colors of the rainbow. There are measurable differences, but no one draws a heavy black line between them. Through studying the behavior and ...

Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Metafiber, a breakthrough device that allows ultra-precise, rapid, and compact control of light focus directly within an optical fiber. Unlike traditional ...

poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced its new MLens® off-the-shelf (OTS) portfolio of M12 focusing camera lens for industrial machine vision applications. Based on the company’s ultrafast, ultralow ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

Yole Group estimates the industrial machine vision market to reach USD $7.8 billion with a CAGR of 2.1 percent by 2029, based on AI-driven imaging requirements in automated manufacturing settings.
