The approach prevents light from being trapped in the light-emitting part of an OLED, enabling OLEDs to maintain brightness while using less power
The shape of the laser beam can be fully controlled to project a complex hologram, such as the one above (Credit: Christina Spägele/Harvard SEAS)
Harvard researchers have developed a single metasurface that can effectively tune the different properties of laser light, including wavelength, without the need of additional optical components
The rotating filter is just 70μm wide and 60μm tall with square openings that measure 6.5μm on each side. Scale bar: 10μm.

The microfilter was developed using a very precise 3D printing technique known as two-photon polymerisation
Surfix, a spin-off from Wageningen University & Research, aims to make a test that is available for the masses and at the cost of only a few euros.
The paper demonstrates the technical feasibility of integrating CMOS switching functionality with single-mode optical interfaces within the same package
