One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. A group of scientists from the Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Siberian Federal University’s (SFU) Institute ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...
