Even with modern biometers, newer IOL formulas and advanced surgical techniques, refractive surprises still occur. Surprisingly, in many cases, the explanation lies not in the technology but in the ...

Photonic glasses are a promising class of noniridescent material but suffer from weak color saturation due to particle polydispersity. Here, we reveal two strategies employed by blue-tailed ...

University of Oregon chemist Christopher Hendon loves his coffee—so much so that studying all the factors that go into creating the perfect cuppa constitutes a significant area of research for him.

"My research has centred on the spectroscopy of atoms and diatomic molecules and on experimental methods for measuring spectroscopic parameters, especially interferometric techniques. After ...

Abstract: A temperature self-compensated optical waveguide biosensor employing the cascade of a ring resonator and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) spectrometer based on silicon-on-insulator ...

We study the propagation of a quantum field composed of a few photons interacting with a three-level -atom driven by a coherent classical field. The quantum field acquires a phase shift, which can be ...

The laser spectroscopy research group is active in four different research areas, all involving the use of lasers. Members of the group operate both the laser laboratory GPF, (Gothenburg Photon ...

Cellular refractive index is a vital phenotypic parameter for understanding the cell functional activities. So far, there remains technical challenges to obtain refractive index of viable cells at the ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides offer a number of exciting physical phenomena in optics, optoelectronics, and many-body physics. At the same time, these materials offer a number of opportunities for ...
