Engineers tune a nanoscale grating structure to trap and release a variety of light waves

People debating politics are well-advised to shed more light than heat. Engineers working in optical technologies have the same aspiration. Light waves transmit data with much greater speed than do electrical signals, says Qiaoqiang Gan, a Ph.D. candidate at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. ...

Using a grating with a grade, engineers trap a rainbow

Engineers working in optical communications bear more than a passing resemblance to dreamers chasing rainbows. They may not wish literally to capture all the colors of the spectrum, but they do seek to control the rate at which light from across the spectrum moves through optical circuits. T...
