Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons.

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully captured the precise shape of a single photon, marking a ...

Researchers optimise ultraviolet avalanche photodiodes by fine-tuning electric field and absorption layers, increasing ...

In this revolutionary form of computing, there are compelling arguments for transmitting and receiving data via infra-red light through optical fibres, rather than routing electrical signal through ...

Developed by Eta Space, the proof-of-concept satellite is part of the development of in-orbit cryogenic refueling stations ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

In a study that was recently published in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Dr. Jonathan Schuster from DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory, United States, and his team have developed a numerical ...

An international research team has published a comprehensive review in the IEEE Photonics Journal summarising key photonics ...

The Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max ($899.99) is an industrial-grade, ruggedly built 3D printer that gets nearly everything right. It's inexpensive enough for enthusiasts, and it can generate the smallest ...
