Super-Planckian Thermal Radiation Emitted From Photonic Crystal at Optical Wavelengths
Since the late 19th century, scientists have understood that, when heated, all materials emit light in a predictable spectrum of wavelengths. But a material that appears to exceed the limits set by Planck’s law has been experimentally demonstrated by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Getting Specific About Coating Specifications
Getting Specific About Coating Specifications
Wed, Apr 15, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, the technical team at North American Coating Laboratories (NACL) will provide a basis for specifying, testing, and confirming that your coating needs are clearly stated on drawings and are clearly conveyed to your coating solutions provider. To achieve this, the NACL team asks that you let them know what challenges you have faced or are facing currently with regard to specifying and testing optical coatings and meeting your coating requirements. You can do this when you complete the registration process. The NACL team will review all responses and prepare a presentation that is customized to the concerns of the registrants.
