Paper-thin optical lenses simple enough to mass produce like microchips could enable a new generation of compact optical ...

Imagine snapping a photo where every detail, near and far, is perfectly sharp—from the flower petal right in front of you to the distant trees on the horizon. For over a century, camera designers have ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized ...

This technique shared by [Andy Kong] is for 3D printed lenses, but would probably be worth a shot for any resin prints that need to be made nice and clear. The link to his post on X is here, but we’ll ...

Optical metamaterials are ready for initial commercial deployment and will command a market worth several billion dollars by 2030. Those are two of the main conclusions from the latest market report ...

Researchers report the first realization of on-chip optical levitation in a vacuum with an ultrathin metalens. Accomplishing this feat in a vacuum helps improve the sensitivity of the system.
