Edmund Optics has introduced TechSpec spherical aberrationcompensation plates optimized for use in collimated light with small fields ofview. Leveraging a precision BK7 substrate, these ...

Optical aberrations and the errors they introduce are a standard obstacle in localization microscopy techniques, and hinder the gathering of depth information from a biological sample. A project at ...

Not an aberration: schematic drawing of the metalens (left), which is made of tiny titanium waveguides. The drawing on the right is of a single waveguide. (Courtesy Boubacar Kanté) A new type of ...

Light travels at different speeds based on the medium it passes through. For example, in a vacuum, it travels at 3.0 × 10^8 m/s in a straight line. But when directed towards glass, air, diamond, water ...

Meta-optics is a rapidly emerging field that combines the principles of metamaterials and optical engineering to control and manipulate light in unprecedented ways. It involves the design and ...

As a promising candidate for next-generation mobile platform, mixed reality (MR) such as Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest Pro (both are passthrough virtual reality headsets) has potential to ...
