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

Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems ...

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

Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical ...

Engineers have built a camera that does not need lenses to focus light. It can switch from a fish-eye to a telephoto lens instantaneously. Traditional cameras -- even those on the thinnest of cell ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical lenses play a crucial role in a vast array of applications, from microscopy and astronomy to photography, medical devices, and machine vision systems. Traditionally, the ...

Forvia has been granted a patent for a process to manufacture optical lenses from glass. The method involves tempering a glass blank, press-molding it between molds to form the lens, and using an ...

The expected periscope camera system in a future iPhone could include actuators, allowing the lens to move for autofocus and optical image stabilization applications, without requiring a massive ...

Biconvex lenses also known as double convex lenses are simple optical lenses with two convex spherical surfaces, surfaces which bulge out from the center. These two convex surfaces have the same ...

Innovative new optical components based on “birdbath”, holographic, and dynamic focus tuning effects are being tipped to replace Fresnel lenses in extended reality (XR) headset designs over the coming ...
