A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

By replacing bulky lenses with software-driven sensor arrays, the researchers unlock a new era of flexible, high-resolution ...

Diffraction spikes, visible in high-power astronomical images, are an intrinsic optical phenomenon in reflecting telescopes, primarily caused by the diffraction and subsequent interference of incoming ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 120, No. 866 (11 April 2008), pp. 430-438 (9 pages) ABSTRACT.Filled arrays of bolometers are currently being employed for use in astronomy ...

Corner cube retroreflectors (CCRs) consist of three mutually perpendicular intersecting flat surfaces that directly reflect incident light back to its source 1, 2. The incident light is internally ...

Most large-sensor cameras use a Bayer colour filter pattern to allow full colour images to be output - after "debayering". This entire process is now pretty routine but unfortunately what is also ...
