Nanostructures onto a thin sheet of diamond withstood, without damage, experiments with a 10-kilowatt laser. 

Precise polarizers in the X-ray range provide a good tool to detect the vacuum birefringence.

Optical vortex crystals will have impact on fields as diverse as microscopy, optical communications and photonics simulations.

Edmund Optics has announced the opening of its facility in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA.

An optical device shows the same functional characteristics as the memristor, capable of operating on quantum states of light.

Researchers at Linköping University have developed optical nanoantennas that can be turned on/off and gradually tuned by applying electrical potentials.
