In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

MUNICH—ARRI has announced the Orbiter Beam. The launch further expands its accessory range for the LED spot light and is the first beam optic in the ARRI LED lighting portfolio. ARRI reported that the ...

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest ...
