Lensless Camera Uses Fresnel Zone Aperture, Incoherent Illumination to Improve Images
Lensless Camera Uses Fresnel Zone Aperture, Incoherent Illumination to Improve Images
To reduce noise in a thin, lensless camera, researchers at Tsinghua University and MIT built an imaging system with a Fresnel zone aperture (FZA). In addition to introducing a Fresnel optical element into the camera, the researchers used a compressive sensing algorithm to improve the quality of reconstructed images.

Avalanche Photodiode Is High-Power and Eye-Safe for Lidar
Avalanche Photodiode Is High-Power and Eye-Safe for Lidar
A low-noise avalanche photodiode (APD) for 2-µm detection, developed by engineers at the University of Virginia (UVA) and the University of Texas-Austin (UT-Austin), could provide high-power, eye-safe light imaging, detection, and ranging for lidar applications. According to the team, the new APD has demonstrated record performance.

LightMachinery Inc. - HyperFine Brillouin Spectrometer HyperFine Brillouin Spectrometer

LightMachinery Inc.
The great challenge with Brillouin spectroscopy is that the scattered signal from the un-shifted wavelength of the laser can overwhelm the small Brillouin shifted return signal. LightMachinery has combined its leading-edge HyperFine spectrometer with a very narrow band tunable filter to suppress the bright un-shifted laser frequency.

A New Approach to Interferometry: Unlocking New Possibilities in UV/VIS Spectroscopy A New Approach to Interferometry: Unlocking New Possibilities in UV/VIS Spectroscopy
Wed, Jun 17, 2020 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
This webinar will describe ultrastable, common-path (CP) interferometry and how CP interferometry can provide all the advantages of Fourier-transform spectroscopy down to the UV-VIS spectral regions, in a compact device. The operation principle of a CP interferometer will be presented, together with a few applications, such as the measurement of Time-Resolved Emission Spectra (TRES) with picomolar sensitivity and Excitation-Emission Maps (EEM) down to the ultimate sensitivity, by detecting fluorescence/EEM of single molecules at room temperature. Finally, novel applications of the interferometer for hyperspectral imaging will be presented.
