Scientists Shape Light to Travel Along a Single Branch
Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology showed how the branched flow of light can be made to propagate along a single branch rather than along many branches at the same time. Their approach, which they think could be applied to different types of waves, from scalar to vector and from two to three dimensions, is based on shaping the incoming wavefront.

The New Collar Workforce
Photonics Media
U.S. manufacturing companies are expected to face a shortage of two million skilled workers by the year 2020, according to reports. As a result, manufacturers and educators are looking for real, actionable ideas to train workers, reduce the shortfall and realize the potential of the new age of manufacturing.

OSA Nonlinear Optics 2019
July 15-19, 2019 - Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa - Waikoloa Beach United States
Nonlinear optical phenomena play a key role in many photonics applications and are now studied and applied over a wide range of energies and powers and over broad spectral ranges. New advances are arising in high-field areas and quantum nonlinear optics. Thanks to cross-fertilization with fields like machine learning and medicine, new applications for nonlinear optics are emerging. This meeting will provide an international forum for the discussion of all these aspects of nonlinear optics, including new physics, advanced materials, novel device concepts, and applications.

Keys to Success with Vision-Guided Robotics
Tue, Jul 16, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Industry leader David Dechow will present practical methods to successfully integrate conventional vision-guided robotic (VGR) applications into machine vision systems. He will discuss some cutting-edge VGR applications, the challenges they present, and the potential advantages they offer. He will provide examples of the products that are being used successfully in VGR, including robots, cameras, and software and will conclude with a discussion of machine vision technologies that could be key to expanding the future use of VGR. This webinar is sponsored by Photoneo; Teledyne DALSA; and Integro Technologies Corp.
