The Relightables System Captures Character Lighting for Virtually Any Environment
The Relightables System Captures Character Lighting for Virtually Any Environment
Computer scientists at Google have developed a system for high-quality, relightable performance capture. The volumetric capture system, called The Relightables, can capture full-body reflectance of 3D human performances and seamlessly blend them into a new environment through augmented reality (AR) or into digital scenes in films and games. Character lighting can be customized in real time.

Photonic Accelerator Could Increase Computation Speed and Efficiency
Photonic Accelerator Could Increase Computation Speed and Efficiency
A new photonic integrated circuit device, developed by researchers in Japan, can be placed at the front end of a digital computer and optimized to perform specific functions with less power consumption than is needed for fully electronic devices. This photonic accelerator, called PAXEL, is a special class of processor that can process images or time-serial data either in an analog or digital fashion on a real-time basis.

Microscopy Innovation Allows for Simultaneous Quantitative and Bright-Field Imaging
Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have designed a microscope lens that is able to take both quantitative phase images and bright-field images in a single measurement. Under the supervision of professor Wolfgang Heidrich, the researchers developed a microscope lens that incorporates a wavefront sensor, a custom-designed optical sensor able to encode the wavefront, or phase, information into intensity images.

Photonic Cluster States Generated at Room Temps for Optical Quantum Computation
To observe quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale, researchers at the Center for Macroscopic Quantum States (bigQ) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) created an extremely entangled quantum state, called a cluster state. The team’s scalable scheme for the generation of photonic cluster states could be suitable for universal measurement-based quantum computation.

Collaborative Work Advances Quantum Sensors for Bio Applications
A research team at Università degli Studi Roma Tre has shown that quantum light can be used to track enzyme reactions in real time. The researchers developed a setup that allowed them to control the light at the level of a single photon. This made it possible to use low illumination without disrupting the enzymes, with the potential to achieve improved sensitivity.

ANZCOP 2019 (The Australian and New Zealand Conferences on Optics and Photonics)
December 8-12, 2019 - RMIT Univ. - Melbourne, Australia
The Australian and New Zealand Conferences on Optics and Photonics (ANZCOP 2019) bring together four co-located conferences with a central theme of optics and photonics. The ANZCOP conferences will connect people across all scientific disciplines associated with optics and photonics, incorporating general streams on optical science and technology and focused topical conferences on micromaterials and nanomaterials and devices, biomedical photonics, and astronomical instrumentation. The conferences are organized by the Australian Optical Society and SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics.
