A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique ...

The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously. Silicon nanofins are arranged in the Penrose tiling pattern as illustrated by the 2D color ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

New twist: a smeared out signal can transform into a soliton, depending on the laser powers and the twist angle of the optical moiré lattice. (Courtesy: Fangwei Ye) Moiré lattices — wherever they form ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...
