The study of the behavior of electromagnetic radiation, particularly light, when the wavelength is equivalent to the size of optical components is known as quasioptics.…

The emission of light from collapsing bubbles in a liquid when stimulated by sound is known as sonoluminescence. When little gas bubbles in a liquid…

Doing a belly flop into the water can hurt, as anyone who’s ever been slightly tipsy by a pool, peered up at a diving board,…

Acousto-optics is the study of the interaction of acoustic (sound) waves and light (optical) waves in a medium. It is the study of the interactions…

Tumor formation begins with minute alterations within the body’s cells; ion diffusion at the smallest scales is critical in battery function. Until now, the resolution…

According to a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists made a quantum leap forward in spatial manipulation and energy control…

A quantum dot laser is a semiconductor laser in which quantum dots serve as the active medium. It is a semiconductor laser with a light…

A material’s thermo-optic coefficient is the change in refractive index as a function of temperature. This value is likewise affected by the material’s current temperature…

One of two mechanisms that cause the power spectrum of synchrotron radiation to drop at very low frequencies is cyclotron turnover. Synchrotron self-absorption is the…

Total external reflection is a phenomena that, in theory, can involve any sort of electromagnetic or other wave and is closely connected to total internal…

Synchrotron radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation produced when charged particles, mainly electrons, are accelerated in a circular route within a synchrotron facility. It…

The electromagnetic radiation released by non-relativistic speeding charged particles deflected by a magnetic field is known as cyclotron radiation. It is a type of electromagnetic…
