Researchers Use 3D Printer to Print Chalcogenide Glass
Researchers have successfully 3D-printed chalcogenide glass, a material used to make optical components that operate at mid-IR wavelengths. The ability to 3D print this glass could make it possible to manufacture complex glass components and optical fibers for new types of low-cost sensors, telecommunications components, and biomedical devices.

Spectroscopic OCT: Seeing Under the Skin with Depth-Resolved Spectroscopy
Spectroscopic OCT: Seeing Under the Skin with Depth-Resolved Spectroscopy
Tue, May 14, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Adam Wax, Ph.D., will introduce new methods for evaluating skin injury using spectroscopic measurements based on coherence imaging. These methods were developed by Wax and his group at the Biomedical Interferometry, Optics and Spectroscopy (BIOS) lab at Duke University. Wax will discuss spectroscopic OCT (SOCT), an extension of OCT technology for analyzing structural as well as spectroscopic information. He will present his lab’s application of SOCT for burn injuries and also address SOCT’s potential in the area of cancer detection.
