Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, and advanced imaging systems.

Gradient refractive index (GRIN) optics represent a transformative approach in optical design whereby the refractive index varies continuously within a material rather than remaining uniform. This ...

There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...

Researchers report the development of ultrahigh refractive index metamaterials which are integrated with a low refractive index polymer producing distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The highest ...

High refractive index polymers (HRIPs) are essential for manufacturing modern optoelectronic devices, including displays and light sensors. However, high-performance HRIPs are expensive and ...

Refractive errors are common eye issues that can cause blurry or distorted vision. Treatment usually involves wearing glasses or contact lenses or getting procedures ...

Researchers reported a novel technology enhancing the high transparency of refractive polymer film via a one-step vapor deposition process. The sulfur-containing polymer (SCP) film produced by ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have developed a new material capable of retaining high transmissivity after thermal ...
