(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the drawbacks associated with using semiconductor lasers is that many of them can only produce a beam of a single wavelength, and can only send that beam in one direction at a ...
Cambridge, Mass., July 9, 2010 – Federico Capasso, Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering at the Harvard School of Engineering ...
Harvard Applied Physics professor Federico Capasso was awarded the 2021 Frederic Ives Medal and Jarus W. Quinn Prize, the Optical Society announced Thursday. The award, which recognizes overall ...
One of the less appreciated privileges of becoming a tenured professor at Harvard University is that most people consider even your wildest ideas credible. Federico Capasso, the Robert L. Wallace ...
Most lenses are, by definition, curved. After all, they are named for their resemblance to lentils, and a glass lens made flat is just a window with no special powers. But a new type of lens created ...
Camera lenses might look radically different in a couple years thanks to a new technology developed by a group of physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). Using a ...
Professor Capasso's research cuts across several disciplines in basic physics, applied physics and engineering, which include optics, semiconductor physics, mesoscopic physics, solid-state electronics ...
Nanophotonics, a leading journal in the field of optical and photonic science, is proud to announce the winner of the inaugural Photonics Innovation Award in Honor of Federico Capasso: Dr. Charles ...
A new renewable energy source? Device captures energy from Earth's infrared emissions to outer space
When the sun sets on a remote desert outpost and solar panels shut down, what energy source will provide power through the night? A battery, perhaps, or an old diesel generator? Perhaps something ...
Inspired by the human eye, researchers have developed an adaptive metalens that is essentially a flat, electronically controlled artificial eye. The adaptive metalens simultaneously controls for three ...
Physicists in the US have made the first ultrathin flat lens. Thanks to its flatness, the device eliminates optical aberrations that occur in conventional lenses with spherical surfaces. As a result, ...
“Advances in quantum-mechanically designed materials have led to fundamentally new high-power semiconductor lasers that are suitable for a broad range of applications,” is how Federico Capasso and ...
