Quantum Light Squeezes Out Noise
Quantum Light Squeezes Out Noise
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and, in doing so, chart a a path to detecting material properties with greater sensitivity than is possible with traditional tools. The quantum microscope uses nonlinear amplifiers to generate a quantum light source known as squeezed light.

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.

heracle GmbH - Oscillation-Free Optical Fiber Oscillation-Free Optical Fiber

heracle GmbH
The low-OH, step index fiber features Gaussian beam output, even intensity distribution, and the most minimal interference effect possible. Previous polyimide-coated fibers suffer from interference patterns due to Fabry-Pérot etalon formation at the cladding-coating interface.

Infrared Photodetectors: Theory, Practice, and Applications Infrared Photodetectors: Theory, Practice, and Applications
Wed, Sep 30, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
A great deal of information about the physical world, from the cosmos to DNA, comes to us in the form of infrared radiation (IR). One thing all modern applications have in common--such as automotive lidar, thermal-vision cameras, or communication network--is the need for IR detection. As new technologies for detection expand, choosing a suitable IR detector may be more difficult than before. In this webinar, presented by Hamamatsu Corporation, learn everything you need to know about IR detectors, including their structure, operation, and optoelectronic characteristics. The webinar will also discuss the process of selecting a suitable detector in the context of a given application.
