Ottawa researchers develop âbarrel-eliminatingâ optical element 14 Jun 2021 The âspaceplateâ is a new approach to manipulating light that could lead to paper-thin cameras, telescopes, and smart phones. Flatter phones? optics are miniaturized with new counterpart to lens. The concept of âspaceplateâ is a new approach to manipulating light that researchers from the University of Ottawa say could lead to paper-thin cameras, telescopes, significantly lighter high-performance cameras, and âcamera bump-freeâ smart phones. The spaceplate is described as a ne...
Can you imagine one day using a telescope as thin as a sheet of paper, or a much smaller and lighter high-performance camera? Or no longer having that camera bump behind your smartphone? In a paper published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Ottawa have proposed a new optical element that could turn these ideas into reality by dramatically miniaturizing optical devices, potentially impacting many of the applications in our lives.
E-Mail IMAGE: When a well-defined image propagates from the right-hand side to the left-hand side through a 1-km-long multimode fiber, its spatial profile and polarization will be strongly distorted. By flipping the... view more Credit: Illustration by Yiyu Zhou The use of multimode optical fibers to boost the information capacity of the Internet is severely hampered by distortions that occur during the transmission of images because of a phenomenon called modal crosstalk. However, University of Rochester researchers at the Institute of Optics have devised a novel technique, descr...
