A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed ...

The ultrabroadband infrared frequency comb could be used for chemical detection in portable spectrometers or high-resolution remote sensors. (Nanowerk News) Optical frequency combs are specially ...

The human eye can only see light at certain frequencies (called the visible spectrum), the lowest of which constitutes red light. Infrared light, which we can’t see, has an even lower frequency than ...

Mnemonics Inc.,* Melbourne, Florida, is awarded a $49,953,129 cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the execution of specific ...

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or 'squeeze,' infrared light -- a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared imaging ...

Tired of using bulky night vision goggles for your clandestine nocturnal activities? An interdisciplinary team of Chinese neuroscientists and materials scientists has developed near-infrared contact ...

Cambridge, MA – Optical frequency combs are specially designed lasers that act like rulers to accurately and rapidly measure specific frequencies of light. They can be used to detect and identify ...
