Dutch Nanophotonics Foundry Launches with University Partner
The foundry will produce nanoscale-feature photonics products with advanced light-emitting materials such as the III-V semiconductor materials GaAs, AlGaAs, InP and InGaAs. It will also leverage its relationship with Eindhoven University to access 800 m2 of cleanroom facilities and other services for the first phase of development.

Microscopic Laser Printing Method Could Hide Data, Simplify Production
A printing method using nanostructured surfaces and laser pulses has yielded a microscopic image with a resolution of 127,000 dots per inch. The reproduction the "Mona Lisa," created by researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is smaller than one pixel on an iPhone Retina display.

VECSEL Eyed for Terahertz Sensing Applications
The first vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) capable of operating in the terahertz range, the device achieves output power >5 mW. For amplification it uses a metasurface mirror composed of subwavelength antenna-coupled quantum-cascade subcavities.

Application Note: OCT System Captures 'Internal' Fingerprints
Full-field optical coherence tomography can use a spatially and temporally incoherent light source and is based on a 2D detector. The technique works by analyzing the interference patterns created when light coming from a predetermined depth of a biological sample is recombined with a reference beam.
