The nonlinear susceptibility is a measure of a material's nonlinear response to an applied electric field. It determines the strength of the nonlinear effects and is related to the crystal's symmetry ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

A beamsplitter is an optical device capable of splitting an incident light beam into two. These tools can split both laser and regular light. A beamsplitter can also combine two incoming beams from ...

USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

Stanley Electric has been granted a patent for an optical scanning device designed to prevent abnormal vibration in a micro mirror. The device includes torsion bars, a movable frame, and meander-type ...
