Multidisciplinary Initiative Investigates Light as an Energy Source
An interdisciplinary group of scientists is embarking on a five-year project to explore the use of photoswitches to develop a next generation of devices that operate mechanically upon exposure to light. The goal of the $7.5M project, called the Multidisciplinary Research Initiative (MURI), is to develop photomechanical materials that will provide a portable, abundant energy source.

Patterned Thin-Film Coatings
Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
The drive towards smaller photonic sensors, often integrated on monolithic substrates with other processing electronics, has created a need for coatings directly on semiconductor wafers, or on miniaturized substrates. Specifically, this allows the integration of optical filters, apertures or other features which modify...

NIH Researchers Combine Microscopy Techniques for Faster, Clearer Images
To create sharper images more quickly, researchers blended instant structured illumination microscopy (iSIM) with total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM). The new technique, called instant TIRF-SIM, allows researchers to observe rapidly moving objects about 10 times faster than other microscopes at similar resolution.

Holography for Display: From AR to HUD to 3D
Tue, Jun 12, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Because holograms have the advantage of being thin and light, they are finding application in the fields of augmented reality and head-up display, where constraints on the size and weight of the optics exist. Holograms can also be used for integral imaging-based 3D display, lensless projection, and lidar beam steering. Professor Pierre-Alexandre Blanche from the University of Arizona will discuss the application of holography in all of these areas and the technological advantages of holography over other techniques. This webinar is sponsored by RPMC Lasers Inc. and UnikLasers Ltd.
