Optics and photonics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and harnessing them in practical applications. Optics and photonics covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from high-energy gamma rays and X-rays, through the optical regime of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light, to long-wavelength microwave and radio waves.
A microlithography technique can be used to create pixelated silicone-integrated hole transport layers for high-density organic light-emitting diodes that can reduce electrical crosstalk and improve luminance and efficiency.
Far-field stroboscopic scattering microscopy tracks the propagation of both fundamental and second-harmonic waves within van der Waals waveguides, allowing parameter-free determination of phase-matching conditions.
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is compromised by the trade-off between resolution and photobleaching. Here, the authors present ReSTED, a reactivatable STED microscopy using fluorescence-recoverable nanographene that enables hour-long, super-resolution 3D imaging without bleaching.

An article in Nature presents an approach for the cost-effective and scalable integration of electrically pumped III–V-based lasers onto silicon wafers using a CMOS pilot prototyping line.
