Controlling light at the micro- and nanoscale opens up opportunities for a better understanding of the world and the ...

Scientists have found a way to trap light in an extremely thin layer, potentially reshaping how future photonic devices are ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

The Inprentus Team has developed proprietary software to predict diffraction efficiency of real, manufactured groove shapes illuminated at designed scattering conditions, order, and energy range. The ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, in collaboration with research groups from the Łódź ...

As stated in the article titled ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: The Slit’, a spectrometer is an imaging system that maps a plurality of monochromatic images of the entrance slit onto the detector ...

A research team has fabricated a subwavelength grating from an epitaxial molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) layer roughly 42 ...
