Photonics Research | September 2002
Scientists at Université de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, and at the National Research Council in Ottawa are using double...
For years, physicists have known that photons can exhibit orbital angular momentum. Spin manifests when a photon's transverse components are out of...
Beams of light can be collimated, split or chirped -- and now, some researchers say they can even be liquefied.
Based on the assumption that a laser...
Devices constructed of photonic crystals promise to enable the precise, localized control of optical propagation. The fabrication of such crystals...
Generating laserlike beams of x-rays from a simple tabletop setup, a team based at the University of Colorado's JILA in Boulder has demonstrated the...
At temperatures just above absolute zero, normally distinct atoms collapse into each other's quantum arms, forming a single quantum wave function....
