Microdisplays are literally miniprojectors and require magnification by special optical devices to fill normal-size screens, he explains.
The only instruments capable of measuring such vibrations, though, were spectroscopes--meter-long glass-and-metal optical devices that used infrared light.

The work not only gives evidence of the potential of self-organisation in metamaterial creation, but could also have implications for the study of new types of optical devices.

These specialists can also prescribe an exciting array of high-tech optical devices such as software and screen-reading programs that enlarge e-mail and Web site copy, as well as handheld devices that enlarge printed material of any size.
Applications could include optical storage devices and quantum computers, far quicker and more powerful than today's PCs.

Nitride semiconductors have attracted attention for their potential applications in highly efficient optical and power devices for energy saving.
For devices that also include optical disc playback functionality, which will be enabled by independent software vendor (ISV) applications installed on devices running Windows 8, OEMs will be required to pay a higher per-unit rate.

Key to the device is what's missing: Instead of the optical drive built into most other portable devices, the MacBook Air can wirelessly borrow another device's optical drive, so that it can access software or data stored on a disk.
However there are lots of commercial issues with a UV optical disc besides creating inexpensive devices to generate this wavelength of light.

The Optical SMART Hub helps extend the storage on devices by acting as a personal cloud.
Thunderbolt was originally conceived by Intel as an optical trunk to let computers talk to nearby devices.
Even small changes like RIM's shift to optical trackpads instead of trackballs in its new devices should improve profit margins by decreasing warranty costs, UBS analyst Phillip Huang said in an August note.
It leads in supplying data storage devices that connect to host computers via optical fibre networks to transmit masses of data over long distances.
It leads in supplying data storage devices that connect to host computers via optical fibre networks to transmit masses of data over long distances without clogging up other operations.
The standard's global deployment is pervasive, and the span of stakeholders in its ongoing development is sweeping, including network component and system manufacturers (optical transceivers, cabling, integrated circuit, powering devices, switches and network interface cards, for example) and network, software and bandwidth providers, as well as LAN and Internet users worldwide.

Several retinal prosthetic devices have been under development, but their optical resolution has been poor and they present challenges in achieving long-term compatibility with host tissue, Mr. Isacoff says.
WSJ: What Might Innovation Award Winners Look Like in Five or 10 Years?
Optical lithography techniques become increasingly problematic as engineers build tinier devices--the wavelength of the light used to cast patterns onto silicon is already bigger than the width of the devices engineers want to create.
Plextor continues to deliver generations of innovative industry-leading products, including Blu-ray optical disc drives, solid state drives, digital video converters and multimedia devices.

Companies now are racing to make the components faster and drive the cost much lower, so that optical connections can also accelerate communications inside and among PCs and consumer-electronics devices.
Consumer devices use common digital storage technology such as flash memory, hard disk drives or optical discs.
