Staff Report: Jobs in Photonics

Courtesy of Chat GPT4, M. Vera Gonçalves, SOITEC. During the last decade, the exponential growth of data center traffic has been largely fueled by general-purpose cloud- and internet-based...

Earlier this year, the first wave of smartphones equipped with STMicroelectronics’ second-generation direct time-of-flight (TOF) sensor reached the consumer market. The sensor includes planar...

For many years, secondary sources were just a vision held by scientists. Eventually, their progress was driven by the goal to build a particle accelerator, such as the Large Hadron Collider in a...

The terahertz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum refers to the frequencies between ~100 GHz and ~10 THz. This corresponds to wavelengths between 3 mm and 30 µm. Lying between the...

An optical time-domain reflectometer sends short pulses of light into a fiber and measures its reflections as a function of time. The delay of these reflections to the detector as well as their...

To Isaac Newton the problem was clear, and in 1704 he realized the effects of atmospheric turbulence on image formation. Just as heat waves shimmering above a hot patch of ground can distort our...

All optical spectrometry techniques rely on the measurement of radiant power. The configuration of the instrument varies based on the measurement technique: absorption, emission, luminescence, or...

Adhesives for fiber optic components that perform well on glass, metal, ceramic and most plastic substrates provide excellent chemical and solvent resistance. They also can act as an electrical...

Join Photonics Media online Oct. 24-26 for the BioPhotonics Conference, a virtual event highlighting innovation in the life sciences and biomedical optics. The conference will feature three keynotes...

OCT (optical coherence tomography) is a noninvasive optical imaging modality that is well established for ophthalmology and has been shown to have an interesting potential for other medical fields...

Deploying supervised learning methods for automated optical inspection (AOI) of semiconductor wafers and other materials enables process engineers to detect defects on bare and patterned samples...

While they are considered the gold standard for disease diagnosis, including cancer, tissue biopsy and histological evaluation have significant limitations. Among these limitations are a biopsy's...

Fluorescent proteins are proteins that exhibit the property of fluorescence, which is the ability to absorb light at a specific wavelength and emit light at a longer wavelength. These proteins are...

In biology, particularly genetics and evolutionary biology, the phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genetic makeup...

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) refers to a set of safety features and technologies designed to assist drivers in the driving process and enhance overall vehicle safety. These systems use...

Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of subwavelength-scale artificial structures, often referred to as meta-atoms or meta-elements, arranged in a specific pattern to manipulate the propagation of...

The new VirtualLab Fusion 2023 thrills with a firework of new features. In this webinar we give an overview of the new features and put them into context with the development strategy and technical...
