Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted ...

Physicists have devised a new method that can be used to detect edges of images in an extremely energy efficient and ...

So far, researchers have looked into using nonlinear bistable materials as the basis for all-optical switches, but switching response times of such devices have not been investigated thoroughly.

An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons ...

Optical switches are devices that control the flow of light signals in optical networks. They are essential for applications such as telecommunications, data centers, and optical computing.
