The international optical and photonic components market reached over $300 billion in 2020. Optical processing starts with raw materials and finishes with finely crafted optical components. The ...

A compact optical lattice clock with a volume of 250 liters has been developed. The system includes a physics package for conducting spectroscopy on the clock transition within a vacuum chamber, ...

--Wedge prisms can be used individually to deviate a laser beam a set angle, or two wedge prisms can be used together for beam steering applications. --A single wedge prism's ability to deviate the ...

The rapid evolution of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) is reshaping space telescope design by offering lightweight, compact and high-performance alternatives to conventional optical systems. These ...

Optical lattice clocks are devices that measure the passing of time via the frequency of light that is absorbed or emitted by laser-cooled atoms trapped in a repeating pattern of light interference ...

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 ...
