Laurin Publishing Announces Poster Series
Laurin Publishing Co., whose titles include Photonics Spectra and BioPhotonics magazines and the Photonics Buyers’ Guide, announces the availability of two posters featuring art that takes a lighthearted look at the early days of the photonics industry. The unique and original drawings of Diane M. Laurin appeared in the pages of Photonics Spectra magazine and its predecessor, Optical Spectra, in the 1970s and 1980s.

Inkjet-Printed Lasing Capsule Produces Disposable Organic Lasers
Inkjet-Printed Lasing Capsule Produces Disposable Organic Lasers
An ultralow-cost fabrication method uses an inkjet printer to produce “lasing capsules” for external-cavity vertically emitting thin-film organic lasers, a development that could enable disposable laser chips. One obstacle that has limited widespread adoption of organic lasers is the fact that they degrade relatively quickly, which could be overcome if the lasers are inexpensive enough to dispose upon failure.

Two-Photon Collagen Crosslinking Demonstrated for Cornea Repair
Two-Photon Collagen Crosslinking Demonstrated for Cornea Repair
A technique called two-photon corneal collagen crosslinking (2P-CXL) has been demonstrated to strengthen the cornea, with results confirmed by confocal Brillouin microscopy. The method could enable selective biological tissue stiffening in situ for applications in ophthalmology, laser surgery and tissue engineering.

Toptica Lasers Used in Chilean Observatory
Toptica Lasers Used in Chilean Observatory
Using four independent lasers from Toptica Photonics AG, the Four-Laser Guide Star Facility housed at the Paranal Observatory in Chile is now fully operational. This phase is a major step toward the completion of the Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF). Part of the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), the independent lasers were used simultaneously to implement advanced modes of adaptive optics.
