AI, Deep Learning Allow More Accurate Eye Testing
Researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are now able to analyze OCT images of the eye closer and more accurately than ever before. The researchers have developed a more detailed and accurate way to evaluate such images, particularly the back of the eye, using artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning techniques.

Integrated Silicon Carbide Optical Switch Can Be Thermally Tuned
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have integrated a microheater and a microring resonator onto a silicon carbide (SiC) chip, creating a photonic integrated chip that can be thermally tuned by applying an electric signal. The approach could one day be used to create a range of reconfigurable devices such as phase-shifters and tunable optical couplers.

Hybrid LED Could Power LiFi, Electrically Driven Lasers
A City College of New York (CUNY) research team has demonstrated an LED based on half-light, half-matter quasiparticles in atomically thin materials. The device was fabricated using stacks of atomically thin semiconductor materials embedded in an optical cavity.

Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Market and Competitive Analysis – June 2019
Photonics Media
The competitive polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber market is expected to grow over the next five years at rates between 5% to 12% depending on the market segment, but there's a lot more to the market than a growth forecast. Before you put your project out for bid or invest in new PM fiber product development, it pays to get the whole picture. This new PM Fiber Market report was written by an analyst with three decades of fiber market experience and a finger on the market's pulse today.

Visible-Light-Activated Prodrug Can Combat Chemo’s Side Effects
To avert potential “collateral damage” caused by antitumor drugs, a research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a small-molecule platinum(IV) anticancer prodrug called phorbiplatin. Phorbiplatin is shown to be inert in the dark, but it can be controllably activated under low-power red-light irradiation.

Leak Testing Sealed Laser and Photonics Components
Tue, Oct 15, 2019 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Sealed components in the laser and photonics industry often have very stringent leak test requirements. While everything leaks, determining how much, particularly when components and acceptable leak rates are very small, presents some unique challenges. In this webinar you will learn how mass spectrometer leak detection using helium as a tracer gas can readily solve these challenges.
