Inverse, Mie Scattering Techniques Advance 3D Metamaterial Design
Using an inverse design approach, a team led by researchers at the University of Washington designed and tested a 3D-printed metamaterial that can manipulate light with nanoscale precision. Though the researchers chose a spiral helix pattern for their optical element, they said their approach could be used to design elements that focus light in other patterns.

Bio Nanolaser Proves Fully Functional in Living Tissue
Researchers at Northwestern University have created a nanolaser that can be used in living tissues without harming them. Developed in conjunction with a team from Columbia University, the nanolaser can be 50 nm to 150 nm thick, which allows it to fit and fully function inside living tissues.

AI-Powered Robot Could Improve Productivity, Reduce Defects in Optics Manufacturing
A robotics technology startup from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has introduced a new robot that can pick up delicate optical lenses and mirrors with care and precision, just like a human hand. Named Archimedes, the robot can slot lenses and mirrors of different sizes into a custom loading tray to get them ready for coating.

Photoacoustic Technology May Revolutionize Cancer Surgery
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, have developed photoacoustic technology that can precisely locate and distinguish all of a cancerous tumor during surgery. This could help ensure that healthy tissue remains intact while cancerous tissue is removed and potentially eliminate the need for numerous surgeries.

Graphene-Based Measurement Technique Boosts Optical Resolution
Researchers at the University of Göttingen have developed a new technique that exploits the unusual properties of graphene to optically measure extremely small distances — to the order of one ångström — for the first time. This could mean big things for superresolution microscopy.

What You Need to Know About Your AM Laser’s Personality: Power Is Not the Complete Story
Tue, Oct 22, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
The performance of your laser will change over time. A power check will not give you the complete story; to keep the process running efficiently and product quality high, you need a more complete understanding of your laser’s personality before and after each build. In this webinar, presented by Ophir, you will learn why laser system performance changes and why it is important to understand — as well as when, how, and how often to measure and analyze the laser’s performance.
