3D-Printed Photodetectors on Curved Surface Could be Basis for 'Bionic Eye'
3D-Printed Photodetectors on Curved Surface Could be Basis for 'Bionic Eye'
A research team has 3D-printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface, in a first step toward creating a “bionic eye” that could someday help blind people see or sighted people see better.

Optically Generated Tilted Pulses Can Be Directed Spatially and Temporally
Physicists have demonstrated the ability to spatially and temporally direct and control ultrashort electron pulses by using the light cycles of lasers. The new technique not only shortens pulse duration, but also allows the pulses to be “tilted,” that is, allows the pulses to be shaped to run in a direction that is other than vertical to the pulse front.

Hand-Held Imager Could Broaden Use of AOSLO
Researchers have miniaturized adaptive optics (AO) technology to develop a portable hand-held ophthalmology device that can image individual photoreceptors in the eye at high resolution. The new instrument could allow improved diagnosis of eye diseases to a larger population and enable early detection of brain-related diseases and trauma.

Time-Resolved Technique Could Provide High Resolution for THz Imaging
Time-Resolved Technique Could Provide High Resolution for THz Imaging
Using a single-pixel camera operating at THz frequencies, researchers have discovered a way to capture with a high degree of accuracy not just the shape of an object, but also its chemical composition. The technique uses time-resolved measurement to reconstruct the complexity of an object.

5D HSI Measures Shape and Spectral Characteristics as a Function of Time
5D HSI Measures Shape and Spectral Characteristics as a Function of Time
A 5D hyperspectral imaging system (HSI) — so-called because it captures multiple wavelengths of light plus spatial coordinates as a function of time — has been developed. The compact system operates in the visible-to-NIR spectral range and provides high degrees of spatial and spectral resolution, depth accuracy, and high frame rates.

Understanding Camera Resolution
Understanding Camera Resolution
Tue, Sep 18, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, you will learn how sensors and lighting affect camera resolution, and how different setups can affect the resulting image. You will also learn a simple formula that will help you calculate the camera resolution you need for your application, and how to use the results of your calculation to achieve the best results under a variety of “real-world” conditions. This webinar is sponsored by Midwest Optical Systems Inc.
