Team Draws on Classical Optics for Its Solution to Non-Line-of-Sight Imaging
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have demonstrated non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging by using a method that applies the same math that is used to interpret images taken with conventional line-of-sight (LOS) imaging systems. The new method resolves the challenge of imaging a hidden scene by reformulating the NLOS imaging problem as a wave diffraction issue.

Two-Photon Scope Captures Millisecond-Timescale Neuron Patterns In Vivo
A new two-photon microscope from scientists at Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus can record footage of brain activity 15 times faster than once believed possible, the team said, revealing voltage changes and neurotransmitter release over large areas and monitoring hundreds of synapses simultaneously.

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 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.

Flexible Sputtered Coatings
Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
Roll-to-roll processes present a number of challenges when coating flexible surfaces, including unbalanced stress on each side of the substrate and limited line speed. These limitations affect the thickness and possibility of complex coatings. To address these challenges, DSI developed their batch coating technology, MicroDyn®. This unique process utilizes a proprietary magnetron sputtering chamber that was custom designed to address the challenges of high throughput coating.

Structural Color Soft Robot Interacts with Environment
A soft robot with both color-changing and locomotion capabilities has been developed by a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Inspired by the color-changing capability of the chameleon, the structural color soft robot is able to sense modifications in the environment and exhibit vivid color alterations and programmable locomotion.

Imaging Method Shows Promise for Evaluation of Cystic Fibrosis
An imaging method developed in part by researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham is showing promise in the early diagnosis and evaluation of cystic fibrosis. The technique, based on optical coherence tomography, is able to provide high-resolution images of cilia lining the nasal pathways, as well as detailed features of the clearance of mucus.

OSA Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science 2019
September 16-19, 2019 - Marriott Wardman Park - Washington United States
Photonics Media Booth: 107
The Optical Society (OSA), in partnership with the American Physical Society’s Division of Laser Science (DLS) present OSA Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science APS/DLS. The conference, which also serves as the OSA Annual Meeting, unites communities from both societies for comprehensive and current research in more than 30 optics and photonics topics and across the disciplines of physics, biology, and chemistry. The Technical Conference is organized around four themes that leverage the intersection between science and applications: Autonomous Systems, Nanophotonics and Plasmonics, Quantum Technologies, and Virtual Reality and Augmented Vision. Each theme includes an all-invited program of panel discussions and is anchored by a 45-minute talk offered by a visionary speaker.

Accelerating the Commercialization of New Optics, Photonics, and Imaging Technologies
Thu, Sep 5, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Startups often can't find the funding or the right resources to bring emerging technologies to market. This webinar will take an in-depth look at how the Luminate Accelerator is addressing these challenges to help speed the commercialization of optics-, photonics-, and imaging-enabled applications. If you are an OPI startup, from early stage to Series A funding, or a scientist or engineer who has a technology that's moving from lab to market, this webinar could point to the ultimate resource. Presented by Luminate.
