Interference Acts as Light 'Switch'

Superresolution radial fluctuations (SRRF), a superresolution algorithm, works by observing fluctuations in radial symmetry throughout the frames of an image. SRRF supports live-cell, superresolution...

A collaboration between Swiss and German researchers demonstrated the generation of electron-photon pair states for the first time in a controlled way, using integrated photonic circuits on a chip....

To make a solid-state qubit, a defect must be inserted into the solid material to control the spin states of the electrons. These quantum defects have the potential to enable integration of quantum...

A recent demonstration by a team at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) spotlights the possibility of stable multiband lasing by rare-earth elements. In the work, the research team...

In general, there are three common approaches to reducing mechanical excitation of photonic systems. The first is identifying the sources of vibration and implementing ways to eliminate or reduce...

On this month's episode of Light Matters, we introduce you to a green energy company that is transforming China's national treasure — the giant panda — into panda-shaped solar farms. We also bring...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we give you an in-depth look at the recent Luminate Lightning Awards. New York’s Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul was there and tells us why Luminate is important...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we take you to the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at MIT run by Dr. Dirk Englund. Dr. Englund's group, the Quantum Photonics Group, is made up of postdocs and...

Tune into this month's edition of Light Matters for 'Part 1' of an exclusive interview with SPIE CEO, Eugene Arthurs, as he speaks about his upcoming retirement. We’ll also take you to Rochester,...
