Optical solitons represent a unique phenomenon in nonlinear optics whereby light waves maintain their integrity over long distances by balancing dispersion with nonlinear effects. When these solitons ...

Building on previous work that realized Euclidean lattice models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) and interconnected networks of superconducting microwave resonators, researchers at ...

Microscope image of the laser written waveguide array (left) fabricated in glass by researchers at Penn State to have a geometry that leads to the topological protection of light. Laser light ...

Researchers have succeeded in making the thinnest ever optical device in the form of a waveguide just three atomic layers thick. The device could lead to the development of higher density ...

For most design engineers, study of waveguide technology ended when they got their last degree. The only time waveguide comes up is to use it as a last resort in applications such as millimeter-wave ...

Augmented-reality (AR) technology is rapidly finding its way into everyday life, from education and healthcare to gaming and entertainment. However, the core AR device remains bulky and heavy, making ...

In the realm of physics, synthetic dimensions (SDs) have emerged as one of the frontiers of active research, offering a pathway to explore phenomena in higher-dimensional spaces, beyond the ...
