Researchers unveiled SOLen, a 3D printed soft optical sensor that guides light with an internal lens for mechanosensing.

For example, a 0.71x telecompression factor delivers an effective aperture gain of approximately one stop. This means that the system is able to operate at lower ISO values or higher shutter speeds, ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

This new sensor demonstrates exceptional acetylene-detection sensitivity with a simple fiber-splicing design, which could ...

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

Scientists at Oxford University have developed a novel sensor made of incredibly thin strands of sapphire that can withstand extreme heat and radiation. The breakthrough is billed as a solution to a ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery of dark matter. With new approaches to measurement in the quantum realm, ...
