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.

Demonstration of a new concept in detecting infrared light, showing how to convert it into visible light, which is easily detected.

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

A special metasurface uses very deep, very narrow holes, rather than very tall pillars, to focus light to a single spot.  

NIL Technology (NILT) has designed, built, and characterized multiple meta optical element (MOE) lenses with a breakthrough performance of 94 % absolute efficiency.
