When light passes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological and scientific advances – ...

When light goes through a material, it often behaves in unpredictable ways. This phenomenon is the subject of an entire field of study called “nonlinear optics”, which is now integral to technological ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials reports a new fabrication method for nonlinear optical components using nanostructured polycrystalline lithium niobate (LN). The study addresses key limitations ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

A recent study published in the journal Advanced Photonics Research investigated the nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor-metal nanocavities using second and third-harmonic generation (SHG ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are ...
