Chip-Based Lidar Packs the Pixels for Use in Vehicles and More
A research team led by professor Ming Wu at the University of California, Berkeley is developing a high-resolution, chip-based lidar system that could be used in a range of devices, from autonomous cars to smartphones. The researchers used a focal plane switch array (FPSA) with MEMS switches to pack 16,384 pixels onto a single chip.

Spectroscopy Deems Biexciton Binding Energy Usable in Electronics
Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology used an advanced spectroscopy technique to quantify the energy required to bind two excitons into a biexciton state. The team directly measured the biexciton binding energy in tungsten disulfide a 2D material that belongs to the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) family of semiconductors. The findings could be used to develop applications based on the flow of biexcitons in TMDCs.

Adaptive Optics: From Design to Application
Wed, Mar 30, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology originally used for removing the blurring effect of atmospheric turbulence on images in ground-based telescopes. Since then, it has been become invaluable in other fields, such as vision science and microscopy. For example, by correcting for blur due to the optics of the eye, AO has revolutionized ophthalmology by allowing diseases to be detected and monitored at the single-cell level, thus providing earlier diagnoses. Karen Hampson, Ph.D., of Oxford University overviews AO technology and its application considerations for astronomy, vision science, and microscopy.

Bob Hess, one of the world’s leading collectors of lasers, laser accessories, and holograms, takes us through his exhibit, “Vintage Lasers & Holograms,” on now in Tempe, Ariz. Hess is a career holographer and photonics technician, and his collection features more than 500 lasers and upward of 600 holograms. Also, a check-in with the University of Southampton’s Pearl John to discuss the artform of holography and its ties to photonics outreach and education.
