Researchers unveiled SOLen, a 3D printed soft optical sensor that guides light with an internal lens for mechanosensing.

CU Boulder researchers have built high-performing optical microresonators, opening the door for new sensor technologies. At its simplest form, a microresonator is a tiny device that can trap light and ...

Synergy between the primary optics and sensor in precision imaging defines the entire system’s operational boundaries. A significant amount of optical potential can be lost to the ‘crop factor’ when ...

My topic of research was developing an optical tactile sensor to track head motion during radiotherapy. I worked on both the hardware and software development of this sensor, though my focus was ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

This new sensor demonstrates exceptional acetylene-detection sensitivity with a simple fiber-splicing design, which could ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...
