Optical aberration theory remains a fundamental component in the design and operation of space telescopes. With increasingly ambitious astronomical missions and the demand for high-resolution imaging, ...

Microscopes are an important tool in biomedical research as it allows for detailed observation and imaging of tissues. Since biological materials are opaque by their nature, severe light scattering ...

Depth sensing plays a crucial role in various applications, including robotics, augmented reality, and autonomous driving. Monocular passive depth sensing techniques have come into their own for their ...

Professor Iksung Kang (School of Electrical Engineering), in collaboration with Professor Na Ji's research team at UC ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Optical instruments are how we see the world, from corrective eyewear to medical endoscopes to cell phone cameras to orbiting telescopes. This course extends what you have learned about first-order, ...

Professor Iksung Kang, KAIST >Observing the depths of a living brain with clarity has traditionally required expensive, high-end equipment. However ...

Light travels at different speeds based on the medium it passes through. For example, in a vacuum, it travels at 3.0 × 10^8 m/s in a straight line. But when directed towards glass, air, diamond, water ...

Not an aberration: schematic drawing of the metalens (left), which is made of tiny titanium waveguides. The drawing on the right is of a single waveguide. (Courtesy Boubacar Kanté) A new type of ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Korea, Australia, Great Britain, and Germany, with the participation of Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT), has optimized an optical ...
