Working on a new #Ambisonic piece based on physical modeling synthesis. Combination of stuff I coded in #MaxMSP, ContinuuMini presets tweaked in the #EaganMatrix, and some good ‘ol’ fashioned #Resonators. Plus a lot of GRM Tools…
MegaWatt Lasers has developed a compact #laser beam combiner, which is a new method that eases the optical, electronic and mechanical design of a high power and repetition rate laser system. This methodology can be scaled to combine a larger number of laser #resonators. The #beam quality and energy are approximately that of a single laser resonator.

Insights into optical resonances determined by the topology of the Möbius strip

In the current issue of Nature Photonics, Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, Dr. Libo Ma and partners present a strategy for observing and manipulating the optical Berry phase in Möbius ring microcavities. In their research paper, they discuss how an optical Berry phase can be generated and measured in dielectric Möbius rings. Furthermore, they present the first experimental proof of the existence of a variable Berry phase for linearly or elliptically polarized resonant light.
