Around 5,000 years ago, people in what is now Iran began turning dull stone into shining metal. By heating copper ore until ...
A transistor that operates with photons rather than electrons is often heralded as the next step in information processing, but optical technology must first prove itself to be a viable solution in ...
Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
Abstract: We introduce an electro-optic hardware platform for nonlinear activation functions in optical neural networks. The optical-to-optical nonlinearity operates by converting a small portion of ...
OptiCore is a Blender-addon to provide accurate and well-defined models of optical elements (lenses, mirrors, etc.) as well as a few selected optimechanical components (optical bench, posts). These ...
