Photonics technology benefits when a beam of light can be manipulated without distorting its phase and intensity profile. This means that even after manipulation the information embedded in the beam do not get loss or Read more…
So how do fireflies glow? Fireflies use superoxide, an oxygen molecule with an extra electron. The molecule is toxic to cells but fireflies evolved to use the molecule to glow. Researchers from Yale University and Read more…

Let’s have a game. Can you invent a word for light? Think of an original word that can best describe the thing which we now call “light”. This is not new by the way, as Read more…
The Photonics Research Group is currently in the process of improving our directory of former members. If you have done your bachelor’s or master’s thesis or dissertation with the PRL (1999-present) or the Laser Physics Read more…
Australian National University Prof. Hans A. Bachor will be at the National Institute of Physics on April 23 and 24. He will give a talk about light and quantum optics on April 23 at 4:00pm in F204. Here is the abstract of his talk: (more…)
