Providing accurate alignment for any four-corner application requiring 90° angles, a line of diffractive optical elements can split or reshape light to almost any desired distribution. With a light ...

Just buy one with the right beam angle, and you are off. Right? Well maybe, but probably not. Because there are a few more things to think about before you can be pretty sure that what you buy will do ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

The Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle 1:1 Macro ($499) is a lens that's currently peerless in the marketplace. It combines an ultra-wide field of view with a very close focus ability—close enough ...

In the fast-moving world of medical technology, custom optics companies are key players in driving innovations that expand what is possible. In optical engineering, one crucial element that impacts ...

The light intensity curves for LEDs, regardless of whether they are collimated with a lens or reflectors, follow a bell shaped curve (often referred to as a “Lambertian“ curve). The 50% intensity ...

For cataract surgery, when we implant the IOL, the closer the optic is to the center of vision, the better it is for visual outcomes. This is particularly true for IOLs that have diffractive rings ...

In a recent article published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers demonstrated a large-aperture, broadband meta-optic capable of high-quality visible imaging, overcoming traditional ...
