In a paper published earlier this month in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists led by Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside, showcases how new optical technology can ...

Ground-based interferometry on Earth has proven to be a successful method for conducting science by combining light from several telescopes into acting like a single large telescope. But how can an ...

Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom interferometers are ...

The highest angular resolutions for telescopes can be achieved by arrays of telescopes called astronomical interferometers. Hypertelescopes are being worked on that would combine many, many telescopes ...

(Nanowerk News) Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom ...

Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light signals in fiber-optic communications networks and are frequently used for gas ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd has received an order from Armstrong Optical, a leading UK supplier of optical metrology instruments, to supply high specification transmission and reference flats for a custom ...

Large-aperture interferometers are important in the manufacturing and measurement of large-aperture optical elements, which play critical roles in the fields of optical precision manufacturing and ...

Zygo is a market leader when it comes to interferometric metrology instrumentation. With two key product lines in that category, Zygo offers an optical profiler and a laser interferometer as well as ...

When designing materials and structures at the nanoscale, it is important to be able to characterize and measure them. Getting tools to measure on these very small length scales can be challenging as ...
