As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

Nonlinear optical dynamics—intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light ...

The technology hinges on what physicists call a frequency comb, a laser that emits many distinct colors, or wavelengths, evenly spaced across the optical spectrum. Each ...

Princeton researchers have launched a startup in San Francisco where they're developing tiny AI-powered visual sensors for ...

A new type of optical particle trap can be used to manipulate bacteria, viruses and other particles on a chip as part of an integrated optofluidic platform. The optical trap is the latest innovation ...

3D sensing technology is rapidly being adopted in a variety of growing markets. End-product applications include smartphones, tablets, augmented/virtual reality products, robot vacuum cleaners, ...

Traditional computers are fast, but nothing like the speed of light—at 186,000 miles per second, you can crunch numbers awfully quick. That’s a big reason why optical photonics are being used for ...
