A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...

A transportable ytterbium optical lattice clock has been commercially shipped, rapidly recommissioned, and tested against reference systems at the U.S. Naval Observatory, according to a recent arXiv ...

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking ...

Astronomy has always relied on optical instruments, from the early Galilean telescope to fiber-fed spectrographs, so much so that astronomy and modern optics are called astrophotonics. Since ...

Cryogenics specialist Quantum Design has designed a magneto-optical cryostat that for the first time brings their high magnetic field and cryogenics technology into a dedicated optical environment In ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...
