Laser Beam Diagnostics Is a Critical Step in University Research
The scientific endeavors of our university systems are a vital part of the industrial R&D process that produces many of today’s leading-edge designs and manufacturing processes. Much of that development involves lasers of all sizes and types, from deep UV to terahertz, and power density requirements from a few µW/cm2 to several MW/cm2. The demand to accurately measure these...
Chalcogenide Glass Molding Advances Precision IR Optics
Today, infrared optics are mainly used in relatively high-priced technical devices. Thermal imaging cameras, for instance, help builders and surveyors identify leaks and thermal bridges in buildings,...

Quantum Dots, Fluorescent Proteins Vie for Supremacy
The first advances in color displays date to the mid ’50s with the development of the cathode ray tube1, the primary display technology until liquid crystal displays (LCDs) emerged a decade...
Editorial
As Ubiquitous as LEDs?
There’s little doubt that when it comes to autonomous vehicles, the question isn’t if … but when. The high-profile legal battle between this generation’s version of the yellow cab, Uber, and Waymo, the autonomous car unit from Google, only re-affirms this presumption. The dispute centers on lidar, arguably the enabling technology behind autonomous vehicles. Exactly how...
