Cornell professor Michal Lipson heads a research group of a dozen EEs pursuing nanoscale photonics. The team has created silicon photonic chips that confine light in very small cavities that can slow ...

Researchers have devised a new approach for controlling light in a silicon chip by bringing the concept of spatial light modulation to integrated optics. Silicon photonics are forming the backbone of ...

Optical waveguides are structures that guide and confine light within a small cross-sectional area. In nanophotonic circuits, waveguides are typically fabricated using high-refractive-index materials ...

Current technologies to modulate light in free space are bulky, slow, static, or inefficient. Now researchers have developed a compact and tunable electro-optic modulator for free space applications ...

In the rapidly advancing field of microelectronics manufacturing, the demand for higher throughput and precision in via drilling has never been greater. This translates into a market demand for more ...
