Photoacoustic Effect Can Detect Life-Threatening Events Before They Occur
Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) used light-activated nanoparticles and photoimaging to locate and image cells found in the arteries. Such cells could lead to heart attacks and strokes. The advance relies on carbon nanotubes that selectively target the types of immune cells that are abundant in inflammatory plaques.

Photonic Security System Uses Hologram Platform to Dissuade, Detect Forgers
Forgeries could become next to impossible with a two-level encrypted holographic security device, built by researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). The platform for the technology is a bifunctional, pixelated metasurface that allows several properties of light, including wavelength, phase, and polarization, to be controlled by the same device.

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.

Quantum Sensing in Atomic and Solid-State Systems Quantum Sensing in Atomic and Solid-State Systems
Thu, Sep 2, 2021 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
In this talk, Jennifer Choy, Ph.D., of the University of Wisconsin-Madison describes the realization of quantum sensors in two material platforms: neutral alkali atoms and artificial atoms in diamond. The benefits and challenges of these platforms are illustrated through specific examples, including inertial sensing with cold-atom interferometers and magnetometry with alkali metal vapor and color centers in diamond. Choy also presents the critical developments in optical engineering and material science that are needed to improve device utility and performance in atomic and solid-state quantum sensors. This webinar is the fourth presentation in Hamamatsu's Quantum Technologies Series, presented by Hamamatsu Corporation.
