Optical Fiber Used to Direct, Stabilize Random Laser
An advance in laser technology combines the broad spectral features of a random laser with the spectral stability and high directionality of a traditional laser. Such an advance could enable greater use of random lasers in applications where a broad spectrum illumination source would be of benefit.

Spectrometer Uses Silicon Photonics to Monitor Gas Leaks More Efficiently
A chip-based spectrometer that is smaller than a dime has demonstrated the ability to detect methane in concentrations as low as 100 parts-per-million. The spectrometer leverages silicon photonics technology to realize a compact, cost-effective design that provides IR tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (IR-TDLAS) on a CMOS-compatible platform. It uses an approach similar to absorption spectroscopy; but instead of a free-space setup, the laser travels through a narrow silicon waveguide.

VR Opera Hits All the Right Notes
"Magic Butterfly" is an immersive VR experience that reimagines scenes from "Madame Butterfly" and "The Magic Flute," featuring original recordings from the Welsh National Opera (WNO). It was created by VR/AR content production agency REWIND and the WNO, in collaboration with CAMERA, the University of Bath’s motion capture research center. The production combines the emotion and beauty of WNO soprano Karah Son’s voice with high-quality avatar imagery to envelope viewers in an interactive 3D performance.
