A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...
Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different optical patterns at once is extremely complicated, and remains a major ...
When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently reported the development of a new optical device called a turnkey frequency microcomb that has applications in ...
In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...
The joint evaluation confirmed high pattern fidelity, repeatable imprinting performance, and environmental resistance ...
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is looking for ways to control optical frequencies using a miniaturized device that would fit on a microchip, and eventually make ...
Setup of the laser speckle contrast optical spectroscopy system used to monitor scalp and brain blood flow during temporary blockage of a major scalp artery near the temple. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2025 ...
Kerry Vahala and collaborators from UC Santa Barbara have found a unique solution to an optics problem. When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently ...
