At CES 2017, Lumus is demonstrating its latest waveguide optics which achieve a 55 degree field of view from optics less than 2mm thick, potentially enabling a truly glasses-sized augmented reality ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

Quantum optics is a well-established field that spans from fundamental physics to quantum information science. In the coming decade, areas including computation, communication and metrology are all ...

The confinement of light in nanometric domains was only a dream when I first considered that such confinement might be possible. The idea occurred to me in 1979, while I was at Cornell University in ...

Optics and photonics are technical enablers for many areas of the economy, and dramatic technical advances have had a major impact on daily life. For example, in the last decade, advances in optical ...
