Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the rules of optical imaging, ...

Optical sparse aperture telescopes utilise an array of smaller, discrete subapertures to synthesise a large effective aperture, thereby achieving high-resolution imaging with reduced system mass and ...

Regular cameras trade off detail, size, and distance. This system skips lenses, using sensors and computation to capture tiny details.

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Fluorescence microscopy techniques are powerful tools for probing very small signals and revealing three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional properties of biological samples with high ...

Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for the light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

A sharp-edged aperture is a promising solution for eliminating side lobes from superoscillatory waves. Optical superoscillation refers to a wave packet that can oscillate locally in a frequency ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.
