Low-Loss, All-Fiber System Supports Coupling Between Distant Atoms
Low-Loss, All-Fiber System Supports Coupling Between Distant Atoms
A team of scientists from Waseda University, the Japan Science and Technology Agency, and the University of Auckland developed an integrated, all-fiber coupled-cavities quantum electrodynamics (QED) system, in which a meter-long portion of conventional optical fiber seamlessly and coherently connects two nanofiber cavity-QED systems.

In New Material, Color and Thermal Properties Can Be Tuned Separately
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have optically engineered a polymer material to allow its color and thermal properties to be tailored independently of each other. The new films simultaneously provide light weight, conformability, either visual coloring or transparency on demand, and passive thermal management through conduction and radiation.

New Glass Family Demonstrates High Refractive Index, UV-Shielding Properties
New Glass Family Demonstrates High Refractive Index, UV-Shielding Properties
A novel composition of germanosilicate glass, created by adding zinc oxide, has properties that could be valuable for lens applications. Samples of the glass demonstrated a high refractive index, comparable to that of pure germania glass. The samples also showed high transparency, good UV-shielding properties, and good glass-forming ability.

Photoacoustic Microscopy Used to Image Cancer Cells
Photoacoustic Microscopy Used to Image Cancer Cells
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) are investigating ways in which to better image cancer cells by using photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), a technique that incorporates laser light to induce ultrasonic vibrations, which can then be used to image cells, blood vessels, and tissues.

Quantum Dots Are Making Displays Brighter and Photomedicine Better
Quantum Dots Are Making Displays Brighter and Photomedicine Better
Tue, Apr 23, 2019 1:00P EDT
In this webinar you will learn about the properties that make quantum dots (QDs) so desirable in displays, and the types of QD technologies that are most suitable for displays. It will cover strategies for implementing QDs in displays, challenges facing this technology, and QD-enabled displays in the future. In addition to displays, the use of electroluminescent (EL)-QD devices in photomedicine will also be discussed. This webinar is sponsored by Radiant Vision Systems.
