Simulating the nonlinear optical physics that underlies ultrafast laser systems is computationally demanding—a practical ...

Physical optics (PO) methods have emerged as a cornerstone of electromagnetic scattering analysis for electrically large and complex targets. By representing induced surface currents on illuminated ...

Geometric optics is a confusing subject for many physics students, who often first encounter the subject in introductory college physics classes. Traditional instruction in geometric optics is not as ...

Augmented Physics: This web-based tool uses machine learning to create interactive physics simulations from textbook diagrams. By semi-automatically extracting content, users can embed dynamic, ...

Artistic rendering of noncollinear sum-frequency generation (SFG): two infrared pulses mix in a χ² crystal to produce three output pulses (green), with the central SFG pulse being the primary output ...

Have you ever wondered why stars appear to “twinkle” in the night sky? These fast and seemingly random changes in the color and brightness of stars arise from how light interacts with different layers ...

To keep pace with modern design cycles and more complex hardware, the role of physics in the workflow must change.
