Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical ...

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world ...

From integrated photonics to quantum information science, the ability to control light with electric fields -- a phenomenon known as the electro-optic effect -- supports vital applications such as ...

For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

Some processes in physics happen in the blink of an eye while others happen in the blink of a photon. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pierre Agostini of the Ohio State University, ...

Professor Ivan Smalyukh has been named a Fellow of Optica (formerly OSA) for his innovative research in soft condensed matter and optical physics. The election to Fellow is reserved for Optica members ...
