Graphene-Based Logic Gate Could Support Photonic Quantum Computing
Physicists from the University of Vienna and the Institute of Photonic Sciences have shown that graphene structures can be tailored to enable single photons to interact with one another. Their findings have led them to propose a new potential architecture for a two-photon logic gate for quantum computing.

Nanopixels Could Be Used for Creating Building-Size Displays
Nanopixels that are 1 million times smaller than those being used in smartphones have been constructed from gold nanoparticles encapsulated in a conductive polymer shell. The tiny pixels, developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge, could be used to create large-scale flexible displays at lower cost than existing technologies.

All-Fiber Device Could Enable Free-Space-Based Quantum Key Distribution
Researchers from the University of Padova have developed an all-fiber device to generate the quantum states necessary for quantum key distribution (QKD), a method of protecting data that uses properties of light, such as polarization, to encode data and send a random key needed to decrypt the encoded data.

Canon Surface Reflectance Analyzer
Canon U.S.A. Inc., Industrial Products Div.
Canon RA-532H, Surface Reflectance Analyzer (goniophotometer), is a compact, portable device capable of measuring 4 surface appearance conditions in a single pass: gloss, haze, image clarity (IC), and BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function). Additionally, Canon has recently released its own new parameter, “Scattering” parameter, overcoming the shortage of both IC and DOI (Distinctiveness of Image) when evaluating matte and textured surfaces as well as orange peel surface.

Stabilizing the Line of Sight: LOS Dynamics and Control
Thu, Jun 6, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by the author of Stabilizing the Line of Sight (Photonics Media Press, 2018), will provide an overview of the issues and topics that must be addressed to successfully implement Line of Sight (LOS) control and stabilization design. Presenter Peter Kennedy will cover LOS pointing, tracking, and stabilization, with a focus on LOS definition, performance, architecture, and basic theory. He will provide a general methodology for LOS stabilization system design and identify critical algorithms for analyzing stabilization techniques. The objective of the webinar is to provide attendees with a firm grounding in LOS stabilization, so that they will be able to address the detailed design tasks required to perform an actual design.
