WHEN a concentration gradient in a vertical column of solution, for example, an ultracentrifuge cell, is investigated by a refraction method, it is desirable to obtain a diagram relating the ...
Nanoscale optical components, such as lenses and waveguides, are used in imaging and computing platforms. Yet it’s challenging to make these components with more than one refractive index—a property ...
Working with colleagues at Stanford and The Dow Chemical Company, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign fabricated 3-D birefringent gradient refractive index (GRIN) ...
(Nanowerk News) A multi-institutional research collaboration has created a novel approach for fabricating three-dimensional micro-optics through the shape-defined formation of porous silicon (PSi), ...
