A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Thanks to a set of unique properties, diffractive optical elements have the potential to transform light into almost any desired distribution. Joshika Akhil gives the low-down on the technology that ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2024.230005 discusses Pluggable multitask diffractive neural networks based on cascaded metasurfaces. Deep learning algorithms based on ...

The diffractive pattern generator segment is expected to grow fastest in forecast period. The diffractive pattern generator is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period. Diffractive Pattern ...

Scientists have been floating designs for solar sails to propel spacecraft for decades, but a new approach being developed by a Rochester Institute of Technology professor could be the key to helping ...

Spatially incoherent diffractive optical processors can handle data beyond non-negative values, potentially making them valuable in diverse scenarios, such as visual encryption and autonomous vehicle ...

Unlike a reflective solar sail, a sun-facing diffractive solar sail uses a component of force perpendicular to the sun line. This allows navigation without sacrificing the amount of solar power on the ...

Now you see it: A schematic of the experiment, in which an optical diffractive camera hides information by concealing it within ordinary-looking “dummy” patterns. (Courtesy: A Ozcan) Information ...
