'Makeup Lamp' Alters Appearance in Real-Time
The facial appearance of actors can now be transformed during a live performance using a projector-based illumination system that tracks an actor’s facial movements and changing expressions without the need for facial markers. The Makeup Lamp, developed by a team at Disney Research, reduces latency during every step of the process from capture, through processing, to projection.

Lighting up the Lungs to Detect Disease
A novel imaging tool that rapidly diagnoses bacterial lung infections could help physicians customize antibiotic treatment for patients in intensive care units. Currently, diagnosing bacterial infections relies on a slow process of detection followed by biopsy and lab-based culture growth — procedures that are prone to contamination and can result in late treatment. The bedside technology, known as Proteus, uses LEDs and miniaturized optical fibers to enable the clinician to enter, image and sense the distal regions of patients’ lungs.

Lasers Bring Dinosaurs to Life
Most of our collective sense of what dinosaurs looked like stems from blockbuster films like “Jurassic Park.” The truth is, for years these depictions relied on artistic renderings based primarily on scant clues and what archaeologists and paleontologists surmised. Now, a group of researchers is going a step further, pointing lasers at fossils to get a better idea of what these “fleshy” creatures might have actually looked like.

Longer Duration Time Achieved for Continuous-Wave Organic Lasing
An optically pumped organic thin-film laser has shown the ability to continuously emit light for 30 ms — more than 100 times longer than previous devices. Organic thin-film lasers use a thin layer of organic molecules as the laser medium. By designing and synthesizing molecules with novel structures, they can achieve a wider range of colors than inorganic lasers, making them well-suited for photonics applications.

Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence Measures Jet Disintegration Quantitatively
Spectroscopic diagnostic techniques were used to analyze the fundamentals of sub- to supercritical jet disintegration and mixing. The research could lead to a better understanding of the precise dynamics of fuel breakup and dispersion, impacting the way rocket engines, gas turbines and diesel engines are built.

Biophotonic Tools for Diagnosing and Treating Eye Disease
Wed, May 17, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Yannis Paulus, M.D., will discuss novel biophotonics tools and techniques for diagnosing and treating eye diseases, including retinal laser therapies and imaging. He will present significant advances in selective, reproducible retinal laser therapy and discuss Photo-Mediated Ultrasound Therapy (PUT), a novel approach using a low intensity laser concurrently with ultrasound to selectively treat blood vessels. Dr. Paulus will also speak on new imaging modalities in ophthalmology, including optical coherence tomography, photoacoustic imaging, handheld/smartphone based imaging, and molecular imaging. Dr. Paulus is an academic vitreoretinal surgeon, an assistant professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and an assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. Through his research, he seeks to help physicians diagnose diseases earlier, improve treatment monitoring, and practice precision medicine tailored to each unique patient.
