Research lead by Robert W. Boyd, the Professor of Optics and Physics at the University of Rochester, has led to a breakthrough that may change the way researchers approach photonics applications. The breakthrough had to do with what physicists call nonlinear optics – which is the different ways materials behave contingent on the intensity of
If the citizens of Rochester had a penny for every time photonics was mentioned in the local news they would all probably be millionaires by now. Well most likely not – but you get my point. Photonics is taking over the area and for the better. But what should you know about this mysterious new
Precision optics manufacturer Cosmo Optics, received the Excellence in Small Business Award for 2015 presented by Keybank this past week. Cosmo Optics a custom manufacturer of high precision optical components and assemblies was chosen for its award based on its successful growth in sales, employees, and business size. The company, which moved from Middletown to
Physicists Discover New Form of Light That Could Transform Future of Fiber-Optic Communications
A new discovery made by two Irish Physicists has changed our fundamental understanding of light, with implications effecting quantum computing and fiber-optic communications. The discovery was made by Paul Eastham and John Donegan from Trinity College Dublin’s School of Physics. In the 1830s physicists concluded that photons were limited to integer values of angular momentum. It was
