(Nanowerk News) This will potentially allow them to create more compact and efficient elements for lasers, sensors, and optical chips. Moreover, it proves the hypothesis that ITMO physicists had about ...

Researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have announced the first on-chip metamaterial with a refractive index of zero — meaning the phase of light can ...

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 ...

Shelby’s team created the ‘left-handed’ material – so called because it reverses one of the well-known ‘right-hand rules’ of physics – from interlocking sections of copper coils and wires. When ...

(Nanowerk News) Vacuum Rabi splitting is a fundamental quantum phenomenon, and the implementation of solid-state single-oscillator vacuum Rabi splitting will lead to true strong coupling. A cavity can ...

A property of a material that changes the speed of light, computed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light through the material. When light travels at an angle between two ...

Recent advances in materials science have prompted significant interest in high refractive index hybrid materials for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). These materials combine organic and inorganic ...

A light ray is traveling in a transparent material of refractive index 1.51 at an angle of incidence of 38 degrees and approaches a second material of refractive index 1.46. Solve for (a) the angle of ...

The refractive index is the fundamental property of all optical materials and dictates Snell’s law, propagation speed, wavelength, diffraction, energy density, absorption and emission of light in ...
