In Transition from Battlefield to Industry, Dry Laser Cooling Makes a Splash In Transition from Battlefield to Industry, Dry Laser Cooling Makes a Splash As lasers expand further into industrial, research, medical, and military applications, end users are placing increased scrutiny on system cooling requirements. All lasers require a form of thermal...
With Optics at Its Core, Quantum Computing Moves from Curiosity to Cornerstone With Optics at Its Core, Quantum Computing Moves from Curiosity to Cornerstone Grounded in the principles of quantum mechanics — superposition, entanglement, and interference — quantum computing is one of the most intriguing technologies of our time. It is also...
Beyond Adaptive Optics: Semiconductor Applications Enter the Orbit of Wavefront Sensors Beyond Adaptive Optics: Semiconductor Applications Enter the Orbit of Wavefront Sensors Wavefront sensors are strongly associated with adaptive optics due to their ability to measure the phase of light waves as well as their intensity. Moreover, since adaptive optics is tightly tied to...

Commercial fusion is a global quest Commercial fusion is a global quest As industry-galvanizing moments go, the 2022 National Ignition Facility (NIF) experiment that achieved fusion breakeven is an unusual one. While the achievement marked a pivotal moment for the global scientific community broadly — no small feat — for the nascent fusion industry, it represented concrete evidence that there is, in fact, a business to pursue on the road to sustainable...

Avoiding Laboratory Design Surprises Takes Time Avoiding Laboratory Design Surprises Takes Time Performing the work to modify or upgrade a laser lab — or, even better, securing the funding to design an entirely new facility — is a wonderful feeling. At no point in the lifecycle of an R&D or experimental laboratory facility are anticipation and expectations higher. But once the thrill fades, the pressures of real-world issues quickly begin to settle in. Fortunately, many of these pressures...

Liquid Crystal Method Sheds New Light on Foodborne Pathogen Detection Liquid Crystal Method Sheds New Light on Foodborne Pathogen Detection Foodborne pathogens cause hundreds of millions of unique cases of illness and hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. In the U.S. alone, contamination leads to about 50 million cases each year, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and more than $15 billion in annual losses, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Tackling this threat requires rapid, scalable...

Combating disinformation with light Combating disinformation with light Identifying whether content is real or fake on social media is becoming increasingly difficult due to the rise of AI. Watermarks are one solution; however, bad actors can remove them just as easily as they can make a political figure appear to say something lewd. That may be why researchers at Cornell University are proposing an alternative: coding the light in videos. This coding is invisible to...
