University of Maryland (UMD) assistant professor Avik Dutt and research colleagues have demonstrated a new way to control ...

In discussions about generative AI, the performance and number of GPUs often take center stage. However, simply preparing a large number of GPUs is not enough to fully unleash their power. It is also ...

A new technique for controlling optical components with light could help usher in a generation of high-efficiency ...

We want faster and faster computers, and light is the fastest thing in the universe. Therefore, light-based computers should be awesome. Right? Not quite. Computing isn't always about data arriving ...

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology has successfully developed a highly efficient optical modulator using organic electro-optic polymer (hereinafter referred to as EO ...

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 ...

A method for configuring light-trapping devices promises better optical nanodevices by amplifying light and enhancing the emission efficiency of luminescent nanomaterials — without the need for ...

To understand the term "optical memory," we should first clarify one thing. Optical memory is not a single type of technology. From optical storage like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays, to integrated photonic ...
