An Integrated Optical System for Containing COVID-19 in Airports
Will automated infection tracking become standard procedure in airports around the world? Real-time thermal monitoring combined with biometric data that could be immediately extracted and analyzed would help airport personnel quickly identify individuals with potential illness in even the most crowded terminals. Possible points of contact with the individual could also be tracked and identified.

Deep-UV LEDs Grown on SiC Substrates Could Help Eliminate Coronavirus from Surfaces
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara are developing ultraviolet (UV) LEDs for decontaminating surfaces and potentially air and water that have come in contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The researchers fabricated high-quality deep-UVC LEDs by depositing a film of the semiconductor alloy aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) on a substrate of silicon carbide (SiC).

Startup Life at Luminate: Advantages of an Optics-Specific Accelerator from the Cohort’s Point of View
Thu, Apr 30, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
What are the advantages of participating in an accelerator dedicated to optics, photonics, and imaging (OPI) technology? This webinar will provide an inside look at Luminate through the perspectives of four startups in the accelerator’s current cohort — from their January 2020 start in Rochester, N.Y., through the move to virtual workshops in response to COVID-19. If you’re an OPI startup — from early stage to Series A funding — or a scientist or engineer with technology that’s moving from lab to market, learn how Luminate can provide the funding and resources to launch a successful OPI business and speed commercialization.
