New Light-Activated Metal Compound Kills Cancer Energy Source
A team led by University of Warwick researchers is using light to activate a cancer-killing compound that attacks a vital energy source in cancer cells. This technique could be used not only to treat cancer, but also to help reduce side effects of treatment and potentially immunize against developing the disease in the future.

'Quantum Paradox' Experiment Could Enable More Accurate Sensors and Clocks
An international research team will test Einstein’s twin paradox using quantum particles in a superposition state — an experiment that could lead to more accurate sensors and clocks. The twin paradox postulates that time can pass at different speeds for people who are at different distances from a large mass or who are traveling at different velocities.

New Lens Could Provide Thermal Imaging Capabilities in a More Compact Camera
University of Utah researchers have developed a new kind of flat optical lens that is much thinner and lighter than conventional camera lenses. While conventional lenses for smartphone cameras are a couple of millimeters thick, the ultrathin lens is only a few micrometers thick. The new lens can also be used for thermal imaging.

Stabilizing the Line of Sight
Photonics Media
In Stabilizing the Line of Sight, authors Peter J. and Rhonda L. Kennedy provide a methodology and an example for executing a successful end-to-end line-of-sight (LOS) design. Comprehensive in scope, this book will give readers a better understanding of the relationships between the various engineering disciplines that are required for successful LOS control.

Entangled Photon Pairs Create Ultrastrong Correlations
Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), working with Tehran’s Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), have shown theoretically that a new, ultrastrong quantum correlation is formed when three pairs of entangled photons are placed in a network.

Microlens Array Printing Made Ultrafast by New Oscillation Assistance Technique
Researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in China have proposed a fabrication technique that integrates oscillation-assisted digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing with grayscale UV exposure to render an ultrafast and flexible fabrication of microlens arrays with optical surface smoothness.

High-Yield Optimization: Streamlining the Path to More Easily Manufacturable Optical Designs
Wed, Nov 6, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
The conventional optical design approach results in designs that are very sensitive to manufacturing and alignment errors, which means the optical product is difficult to repeatedly manufacture successfully. In this webinar you will learn about a new method, called High-Yield Optimization, that produces designs that meet tight performance specifications, provide a higher manufacturing yield, and lower manufacturing costs through less waste. High-Yield Optimization will help you optimize for as-built performance, rather than nominal performance. Presented by the founder of Zemax, Kenneth Moore, Ph.D.
