Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials. Lenses ...

Allows smaller, lighter optical systems, including wearable aerial display prototype to debut at CES 2026 KYOTO, Japan, January 05, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyocera Corporation (President: Hideo ...

If wearing a virtual reality or augmented reality headset is ever to become commonplace, hardware manufacturers will need to figure out how to make the devices small and lightweight while ensuring ...

Researchers have developed new instruments for rigorously quantifying and comparing the light focusing properties of specialized eyeglass lenses that are used to slow the progression of myopia, or ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Conventional lenses made of glass can only focus light in a limited way, restricting many potential applications in optics and photonics. Now researchers have developed a new type ...

I try not to write about optics too often because, well, I love optics, but no one else does. Unfortunately for you, I can’t resist the subject. If you turn over your cell phone, you will find the ...

Illustration of the spatially structured self-imaging phenomenon known as the Montgomery effect. The color palette corresponds to the phase profile of the light, revealing the helical wavefront of ...

Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focused in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures—enlarged in the magnifying glass.
