All-Optical Ultrafast High Spatial Resolution Camera Reaches 15 Trillion Frames per Second
An all-optical ultrafast imaging system developed by scientists at Shenzhen University has reached 15 trillion frames per second. The system is useful for visualizing ultrafast phenomena such as femtosecond laser ablation, ignition for nuclear fusion energy systems, shockwave interactions in living cells, and certain chemical reactions.

Flexible Parylene Waveguide Operates over Broad Spectrum
A parylene-based waveguide has the physical characteristics necessary to enable it to emerge as the new standard in optical biointerfaces. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed the highly flexible waveguide, which can additionally operate over a broad spectrum of light. The device answers demand for miniaturized, flexible optical tools for reliable ambulatory and on-demand imaging in the body.

Photodetector Sees Full Spectrum in Thin, Compact Construction
Researchers at RMIT University (Australia) introduced a hyper-efficient broadband photodetector capable of imaging all shades of light between the UV and near-infrared ranges, and that is at least 1000× thinner than existing commercially available photodetection devices. The construction of the prototype featured a single nanothin layer on a chip.

Intelligent Motion Systems Based on Fast Optimization Algorithms and Hexapod 6-Axis Mechanisms
Thu, Oct 8, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Learn how to solve complex multi-axis precision positioning and motion applications in fields such as photonics, optics, metrology, test & measurement, micro-assembly, motion simulation and stabilization. In this webinar, Dr. Michael Oldenburg and Dr. Christian Rudolf of PI (Physik Instrumente) will introduce intelligent motion systems based on fast optimization algorithms and 6DOF hexapod parallel kinematics platforms. This webinar is presented by PI.
