In conventional optical components, such as lenses or gratings, the propagation of light is usually manipulated by reflection, refraction or diffraction. For example, a wavefront can be modified using ...
Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a new type of functional gradient material - multilayer optical ceramics. It is created from two well-known and well-studied types of optical ...
Scientists from Skoltech and their colleagues have used a 3D printer to fuse two materials in an alloy whose composition continuously changes from one region of the sample to the other, endowing the ...
