Often people working in optics and photonics confuse geometric optics with wave optics, but they aren’t the same thing! Geometric optics treats the propagation of light in terms of “rays”, where each ...

Due to come online later this year and packed with state-of-the-art optics, Advanced LIGO is aiming for a direct detection of gravitational waves that will open a new window on the universe, say Iain ...

A research team led by Dominik Schneble, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative radiative ...

Researchers at the 4th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan have demonstrated a new mechanism for directing light in a naturally ...

I am initiating coverage of the Corgi Lithography & Semiconductor Photonics ETF with a Buy rating, behind an ever-more compelling shift from memory to optics in AI infrastructure. EUV offers ...

Summary notes on the waves and optics section of the AQA A-level physics course. Updated for current specification. Includes diagrams and bullet pointed summary of content. Great for revision and ...

Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have engineered new optical coatings for LIGO, the global collaboration hunting gravitational waves from colliding black holes and neutron ...
