Smart materials can respond to stimuli and adapt their responses based on external cues from their environments. Such behavior requires a way to transport energy efficiently and …
Heterogeneous silicon photonics using wafer bonding is reaching maturity with commercial products for the data center market being shipped in volume. Here we give an overview of …
The field of optical metrology offers a wealth of both practical and theoretical accomplishments, and can cite any number of academic papers recording such. However …
We will ask and partly answer a few questions. What is the difference between a laser and a light bulb? In which frequency ranges are lasers available? Which are the sizes and the …
Over the past five decades, LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 single crystals and thin films have been studied intensively for their exceptional acoustic, electro‐optical, and pyroelectric and …
Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are a special class of optical fibers with a periodic arrangement of microstructured holes located in the fiber's cladding. Light confinement is …
Light and rare earths (RE) have a long lived relationship that dates from the discoveries of these elements in the nineteenth century. Since then, the increasing comprehension of their …
One of the ensuring stable and reliable electricity production problems is determine the technical condition of the means of generating electricity. This is necessary since more than …
We demonstrate enhanced light extraction for monochrome top-emitting organic light- emitting diodes (OLEDs). The enhancement by a factor of 1.2 compared to a reference …
