Two-Cavity System Generates High-Quality Single Photons Efficiently
A new dual-cavity design for a quantum emitter, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), emits more high-quality single photons for carrying quantum information at room temperature than existing methods. The two-cavity system could make the development of quantum computers more practical.

Photonic Neural Network Can Store, Process Information in Way Similar to Human Brain
A new microchip contains a network of artificial neurons that works with light and can imitate the behavior of the human brain’s neurons and synapses. Researchers demonstrated that the optical neurosynaptic network was able to learn information and use it as a basis for computing and recognizing patterns, similar to the way a human brain works.

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.

From Lensless Cameras to Deep-Brain Microscopy: Exploring the Potential of Computational Imaging
Tue, Jun 11, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar will introduce you to the enormous potential of computational imaging for a range of industries, from manufacturing to machine vision to biophotonics. Professor Rajesh Menon will discuss several examples of computational imaging, including a “see-through” camera, comprised of a transparent window with an image sensor placed facing into the edge of the window; a snapshot hyperspectral imaging camera; and an approach to deep-brain imaging that utilizes only an ultrathin surgical needle to transport light in and out of a mouse brain. Menon will discuss the underlying technologies, their limitations, and additional potential applications for lensless cameras.
