Ultrathin Camera Creates Images Without Lenses
A novel camera uses an ultrathin optical phased array (OPA) in place of lenses to enable a thin, light, flexible design. The OPA manipulates light through a large array of light receivers. Each receiver can add a tightly controlled phase shift to the light it receives, enabling the camera to selectively look in different directions and focus on different things.

Light-Matter Interaction in Single Layer of Atoms
A new and more efficient way of detecting light and matter interactions at the atomic level has been discovered that could lead to advances in the emerging field of two-dimensional materials; it could also potentially lead to new ways of controlling light. Scientists typically use spectrometry tools to study the way light interacts with a gas, liquid or solid. That method is described as "inelastic," meaning the light's energy is altered by its contact with matter.

Plasmonic Sensor Improves Detection of Cancer Biomarkers
A plasmonic sensor has demonstrated the ability to detect the presence of the cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to the magnitude of one nanogram per milliliter. According to researchers, this is a significant improvement over current surface plasmon resonance systems, and a dynamic range that is clinically relevant for human CEA levels. The device combines two sensing methods to achieve a sensor design that shows an interactive plasmonic-photonic resonance effect.

Using Light to Augment Conventional Methods of Mosquito Control
Exposure to just 10 minutes of white light presented at timed intervals during the late daytime, dusk, dawn and throughout the night could suppress biting and manipulate flight behavior in the Anopheles gambiae mosquito, the major vector for transmission of malaria in Africa. Researchers believe that a photic exposure method could be used to reinforce current insect control techniques or be implemented as a standalone approach.

Light-Generated Bubbles Propel Microparticles, Create Optomechanical Force
Energy created from light was converted into kinetic motion using nano-sized laser-generated bubbles. As the bubbles expanded, they acted as a propulsion mechanism for surrounding micron sized particles, propelling the particles at forces many times greater than previously achieved. This technique for creating optomechanical force (OMF) could be useful in the development of micromotors and optical devices for solar cell optics.
