Because light of different wavelengths is shaped and refracted differently, lenses located on the end faces of optical fibers can experience strong chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration can lead to a shift in the focal point and blurred imaging over a range of wavelengths, hindering these lenses, which are used for applications that include endoscopy for medical diagnostics.

To remedy these aberrations, an international research collaboration optimized an optical glass fiber so that light of different wavelengths could be focused with extreme precision. The researchers designed and nanoprinted a 3D achromatic, diffractive metalens on the end face of a single-mode fiber.

The 3D achromatic metalens, which the researchers...

The Society for Neuroscience will return to the San Diego Convention Center Nov. 12-16 for Neuroscience 2022, the society’s annual conference. The largest neuro-specific conference in the world for physicians and scientists who are devoted to understanding the central nervous system will be held in person for the first time since 2019, with portions of the event available virtually.

The conference attracts more than 30,000 researchers, scientists, students, and physicians from around the world to hear about the latest advancements in neuroscience. Though the conference is not exclusively a photonics-focused event, light-based technologies are becoming increasingly important in neuroscientific research. Optogenetics,...
