Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Researchers at Stanford have developed methods for evaluating the position of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device in terms of phase and/or amplitude characteristics.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
