Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others have invented a new class of photonic devices that allow for the accurate and scalable broadcasting of light from the chip into free ...

Cheaper and more efficient photonic devices, such as lasers, optical fibers, and other light sources may be possible with confined light that is unaffected by imperfections in the material that ...

The VCSEL is an indispensable source in modern optoelectronics, where it is valued for its high beam quality, low threshold current, and compatibility with wafer-level processing.

Photonic chips use light to process data instead of electricity, enabling faster communication speeds and greater bandwidth. Most of that light typically stays on the chip, trapped in optical wires, ...

Light-emitting structures that curl off the chip surface could enable advanced displays, high-speed optical communications, ...

A photonic chip sends thousands of light beams into space. This could support displays, LiDAR, 3D printers, and quantum computers.

Researchers from MIT, Cambridge, Mass., and elsewhere have developed what they call “a new class of photonic devices that ...
