A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking ...

AUREA Technology is the leading provider of self-contained and high-performance optical building-blocks dedicated to the development of novel Quantum optical systems such as found in Quantum ...

The field of optical atomic clocks, in combination with ultracold atoms, has transformed precision timekeeping and metrology. By utilising laser-cooled atoms confined in optical lattices, researchers ...

Astronomy has always relied on optical instruments, from the early Galilean telescope to fiber-fed spectrographs, so much so that astronomy and modern optics are called astrophotonics. Since ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...

Cryogenics specialist Quantum Design has designed a magneto-optical cryostat that for the first time brings their high magnetic field and cryogenics technology into a dedicated optical environment In ...
