Europe Drives Fiber Sensor Development for Industrial Apps
Optical fibers have been mostly employed in the telecommunications field to transmit information from one place to another using light. The first inventions involving optical fibers took place in the 1960s at the University of Southampton in England. Since then, the technology has evolved considerably.

QCL-based IR Microscopy Performs Rapid Cancer Diagnosis
A quantum cascade laser-based IR microscope was used for the rapid, label-free classification of colorectal cancer tissues. IR imaging has been shown to be a reliable method for tissue classification. However, the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy technique that has been used to date takes a full day to analyze samples; and the time required for analysis has hampered the use of IR imaging in clinical settings.

Ultrastable Glass Layers Improve OLED Performance
Researchers demonstrated that it is possible to use ultrastable film formation to improve the performance of OLEDs. Emission layers of OLEDs were grown as ultrastable glasses, a growth condition that allowed for the most thermodynamically stable molecular conformation that can be achieved in amorphous solids.

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...

Light Exposure Impacts Performance of Inorganic Semi Material
While essential for electronics, inorganic semiconductors are brittle — a quality that can limit their use, especially for flexible electronics. Researchers at Nagoya University have found that inorganic semiconductors become brittle when exposed to light but remain flexible when kept in the dark at room temperature.

Lidar Helps Yellowstone Manage a Threatened Ecosystem
Lidar could offer a fast, efficient way to locate and capture lake trout, an invasive non-native fish that is upending the ecosystem in Yellowstone Lake. Aircraft-mounted lidar could allow lake managers to hunt for invasive fish across a wider area at lower cost, making more efficient use of the approximately $2 million spent on lake trout control each year.

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. and Radiant Vision Systems.
