Using Optical Fibers to 3D Print Microstructures
Researchers have used ultrathin optical fibers to create microscopic structures via laser-based 3D printing. The microstructures, which were created on a microscope slide, exhibited a 1.0-µm lateral and 21.5-µm axial printing resolution. The approach could one day be used to build tiny biocompatible structures inside the human body.

All-Si Laser With High Optical Gains Could Advance Integrated Photonics
An optically pumped, all-silicon (Si) distributed feedback laser has been demonstrated. Researchers used active layers of high-density Si nanocrystals to develop the laser. The new laser provides high optical gains, overcoming the low efficiency that has been historically exhibited in Si emission.

Stray Light Absorption in Broadband Wavelengths
Tue, Feb 6, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will discuss the science behind broadband light absorption and introduce materials and techniques for applying optically black coatings that demonstrate ultralow reflectance across a broadband spectra. The presenter, who worked on the development of a number of coating processes for NASA, will provide examples of how low-reflectance technology is currently being used in the visible, NIR and IR wavelengths.
