A standard digital camera used in a car for stuff like emergency braking has a perceptual latency of a hair above 20 milliseconds. That’s just the time needed for a camera to transform the photons ...

Adding “intelligence” to measurement systems has become commonplace because 8-bit microcontrollers are inexpensive and widely available, and they can be programmed in many of today’s popular ...

The problem is efficiency. Maxwell's equations are completely linear, so nonlinear optics relies entirely on materials with nonlinear response to optical fields. Unfortunately these responses deviate ...
