WHEN a book bearing the title “Modern Optical Instruments” is found to contain nothing about the telescope, merely a reference to the microscope, and but two pages on the spectroscope, it is the duty ...

Imagine a world without the internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone on a rotary dial phone to communicate. Imagine having to drive to a ...

Nonlinear interactions between light and matter are at the heart of some of the most powerful tools in modern optics, but pushing these processes to their limits has long been hampered by a ...

The role of light in our lives is both pervasive and primordial. Ultraviolet light probably had a role in the very origins of life, and light-driven photosynthesis underlies all but the most primitive ...
