A new ground for the creation of memory elements for light

A group of physicists from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S. has demonstrated a highly unusual optical effect: They managed to “virtually” absorb light using a material that has no light-absorbing capacity. The research findings, published in Optica, break new ground for the creation of memory elements for light. The absorption of electromagnetic radiation — light, among other things — is Read more about A new ground for the creation of memory elements for light[…]

Infrared leader to use world’s blackest coating in blackbody calibration sources

Exclusive rights to the use of ultra-black Vantablack S-VIS surface coating in blackbody calibration sources has been agreed between Surrey NanoSystems and Santa Barbara Infrared. The unparalleled broadband absorption of Vantablack S-VIS makes it ideally suited to enhancing the performance and utility of Santa Barbara Infrared’s (SBIR) precision electro-optical instrumentation, reinforcing its leadership position in Read more about Infrared leader to use world’s blackest coating in blackbody calibration sources[…]
