Light reveals phase transition accompanied by the loss of quantum properties.

The elastic properties depend on structure size, process and fabrication parameters.

Photonic metasurfaces operate in the visible range and can be used for biomedical applications in wet environments.

New optical device creates VUV light used in semiconductor manufacturing, photochemistry and materials science.

Optical vortex crystals will have impact on fields as diverse as microscopy, optical communications and photonics simulations.

A nanoscale device permitting asymmetric transmission of linearly polarized light could lead to significantly more efficient optical devices.

Metasurface diffusers in a layer that is 0.2 micrometers in thickness scatter light of a specific color and let other wavelengths pass undisturbed.

Three layers of phosphorous atoms are used to create a material for polarizing light that is tunable, precise, and extremely thin.
