Waveform Dynamics Sharpen Laser Scanners for Imaging Applications Many photonics systems and methods require projecting lasers over an area of interest so that the reflected light can be sensed and interpreted. Among the most prominent examples are in the realms of imaging and ranging. These include confocal microscopy, lidar, and optical coherence tomography. Techniques such as these support a range of industrial and biomedical applications. For each, the use...
Photonics Charts Its Course in Helping Athletes Reach Peak Performance Michael Matter’s journey into sports technology began with a golf ball. More specifically, a photo of a golf ball that was captured at its precise moment of impact with a club head. The photo...
Chip-Scale Visible Sources Aim to Release Quantum Technology from the Lab The visible range, spanning around 380 to 700 nm, has longstanding use in photonics. Many materials have specific absorption, reflection, and transmission characteristics in this band, which are...

Editorial
Photonics navigates all conditions During his appearance on the “All Things Photonics” podcast this spring, Mario Paniccia took the conversation to an unexpected setting: a fruit orchard. It was not a scene — like the cleanroom, or the fab, or the foundry — that one might expect to backdrop a discussion with a silicon photonics luminary. Venturing to such a nonphotonic destination did not signal, as it...

Invisibility: Not a bug, but a feature … from a bug University researchers estimated that ~25% of Americans suffer from some form of entomophobia, or a fear of insects. But amid the tendency for these creatures to frighten mammals, our six-legged frenemies do, in fact, play an important role in balancing the ecosystem. Pollination and pest control are among their essential jobs. Pioneering next-generation technology, though, is not typically...
