"In our study, we employed another approach—what we call 'slow light,'" Baba said. Baba and his team used a special waveguide "photonic crystal," aimed through a silicon-etched medium. Light is slowed ...

A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1,200 in a study reported in Nature Photonics ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- European experts in nanotechnology, optoelectronics and quantum physics have advanced the generation, detection and manipulation of single photons in semiconductors. Their discoveries ...

I wore the world's first HDR10 smart glasses TCL's new E Ink tablet beats the Remarkable and Kindle Anker's new charger is one of the most unique I've ever seen Best laptop cooling pads Best flip ...

We have demonstrated slow light and electromagnetically induced transparency above room temperature in an atomic spectroscopy chip that is self-contained and compatible with other integrated photonic ...

Third-harmonic generation enhanced by slow-light pulses in a photonic crystal waveguide offers a way to generate green light emission from silicon. In fact, green laser light is commonly generated by ...

Researchers have created a gear-shaped photonic crystal microring that increases the strength of light-matter interactions without sacrificing optical quality. The result is an on-chip microresonator ...

The ability to stop light in its tracks by passing it through a cloud of ultracold atoms could lead to new techniques for optical storage Slow coach: Lene Hau with the laser system that her group uses ...
