Although human vision is traditionally confined to the visible spectrum, recent research has revealed that pulsed near-infrared (NIR) light can be perceived as visible due to two-photon absorption (TPA) in the photoreceptors. This nonlinear optical process enables infrared photons to effectively stimulating the visual pigments in a manner similar to conventional visible-light absorption. This...

For the ninth time, the European Optical Society (EOS) is organizing a special session for EU project partners to disseminate their results. The session is organized in collaboration with Photonics21 and ICFO. During this session, projects will have the opportunity to present their goals and results to the conference audience.

For decades, hollow core fibres have been a fascinating tool for scientists, enabling long distance light guidance in any gas, as well as innovative experiments exploiting the long light:gas interaction length. For a long time, their optical performance fell much shorter than the requirements of optical communications. Recently though, thanks to nested antiresonant designs, the loss of these...

Large cell clusters, such as organoids, cancer spheroids or developing embryos are often optically too opaque for imaging under illumination from only one side. Rotating or re-orienting the sample for multi-angle illumination is a solution to this problem, in the best case enabling 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index distribution. Tailored optical and acoustic fields  can exert controlled forces on microscopic biomedical samples in suspension in a non-contact way. Large and therefore heavy particles, however, can only be levitated by acoustic forces - optical tweezers could not handle them without adverse high-power effects. By tuning standing MHz ultrasound waves it is possible to rotate or re-orient a sample inside a micro-fluidic chamber around one or more chosen axes perpendicular to the optical imaging direction, thus avoiding the ‘missing-cone’ problem which commonly leads to artifacts. As examples, the 3D reconstruction of a levitated zebrafish larva by...

High-power ultrafast moves into the Terahertz Ultrafast laser-driven broadband Terahertz light sources are nowadays ubiquitous tools in many scientific fields, enabling researchers to control and probe an immense variety of low energy phenomena in condensed matter and other systems. They are also being increasingly deployed in industrial settings for inspection and non destructive testing: THz...

Device density in semiconductor chips continues to increase through many innovations. For example, high-NA EUV lithography enables the printing of smaller features that allow more devices in a smaller area. In addition, many innovations are taking place in the area of 3D device integration where devices are stacked on each other.Manufacturing state-of-the-art chips with sufficient yield requires...

EOS celebrates distinguished members of the society with one of the highest categories of membership of the EOS: the Fellowship.

Optical frequency combs have revolutionized time and frequency metrology by providing rulers in frequency space that measure large optical frequency differences and/or straightforwardly link microwave and optical frequencies. Such combs enable precision laser spectroscopy, tests of fundamental physics and provide the long-missing clockwork mechanism for optical clocks. While frequency combs have...

The session organized by the European Optical Society (EOS) and the Chinese Optical Society (COS) is intended to promote international cooperation and knowledge-sharing between Chinese and European researchers. The session will showcase speakers from EU and China with professional experience in both frameworks. Chairs: Xu Liu (COS) and Remo Proietti Zaccaria (EOS) Read more: EOS–COS Session

This session is designed to allow participants to present the preliminary status of their work. It covers all topics in optics and photonics.  The objective is to share and develop ideas, to exchange and discuss the possible issues, and find help from peers around a research work.
