Fabric-Based OLEDs Could Support Commercialization of Wearable Displays
Researchers have developed fabric-based organic LEDs that show high luminance and efficiency while maintaining the flexibility of the fabric. These fabrics could lead to soft wearable displays that bend and move with the wearer. Silicone-based LED jackets, shirts and stage costumes are already available, but the intrinsic stiffness of inorganic semiconductors makes it difficult to use LED-based devices for everyday, comfortable clothing.

Researchers Pattern Laser-Induced Graphene on Wood
A team at Rice University has patterned a thin film of laser-induced graphene (LIG) on a block of pine using CO2 laser scribing. Turning wood into graphene could open new avenues for the synthesis of LIG. Because of its high electrical conductivity, graphene patterned on wood surfaces could be fabricated into various high-performance devices, such as hydrogen and oxygen electrodes for water splitting and supercapacitors for energy storage.

Subwavelength THz Could Improve Image Resolution, Accelerate Imaging Speed
A terahertz (THz) imaging technique has been developed that is compatible with adaptive and compressive sensing algorithms. The technique was used to demonstrate image reconstruction at subwavelength dimensions, and could potentially allow three-times-faster image acquisition than conventional technologies.

Enhancing Sensitivity at Higher-Order Exceptional Points
Active photonic molecule lasers that are non-uniformly pumped could provide a way to generate high sensitivity exceptional points in a systematic way. Researchers generated second order exceptional points using a coupled binary photonic molecule under parity-time symmetric conditions and extended this concept to higher-order exceptional points.

Laser Cavity Reveals Fundamental Physics Driving Its Optical Responses
The optical response of an externally probed laser cavity was monitored before and after gain clamping to reveal the underlying mechanisms of the cavity’s response. For the experiments, researchers used a fiber optic cavity in which they separated the forward and backward traveling light. When they closely investigated the dynamics of directional energy flow in the cavity as gain was increased, what they found related to fundamental physical principles and offered direct insight into the role of causality.

LIAD Lock-in Amplifier Detectors
Newport Corporation
Ideal for calibrated power measurement of very low level light sources, the LIAD detectors are used in conjunction with chopped (at 18 hz) CW or quasi CW radiation. Wavelengths range from 0.15 to 12 µm, power measurement down to 300 fW, and capable of a pulsed source with a 200 Hz or higher frequency.

Learn Efficient Light Pipe Design Using Virtual Prototyping
Tue, Sep 19, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Attendees will learn how to design better, more efficient light pipes using Lambda Research's TracePro software - a 3D CAD virtual prototyping program with the power and tools to simulate and design light pipes. The presenter will demonstrate effective methods and detailed procedures for simulating light propagation in a light pipe model, analyzing cross-talk effects, producing desired output objectives, and optimizing models for efficiency and output. This webinar is for anyone designing light pipes, especially for automotive and avionic displays, industrial manufacturing, consumer electronics applications and medical devices. It's presented by Lambda Research Corporation.
