Identifying sources of light plays an important role in the development of many photonic technologies, such as lidar, remote sensing, and microscopy. Traditionally, identifying light sources as ...

The use of alternative light sources and ultra violet lighting has changed and improved drastically over the last few years. The concept, however, remains the same as the purpose of alternative light ...

Synchrotron radiation facilities can deliver powerful continuum radiation from the microwave (specifically harmonics of the driving RF field) to the X-ray spectral regions. These are produced by high ...

Ultraviolet light that fits on a chip 'Sidewall-poled' lithium niobate device paves way for compact UV sources. (Nanowerk News) Ultraviolet light, beyond its natural ...

Scientists have achieved a major step toward chip-scale ultraviolet light by converting red light into powerful UV within a ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...
