Light and Fluorescent Dye-Based Device Prevents Tooth Decay
An optical device in development at the University of Washington could help prevent tooth decay by identifying at-risk teeth before cavities start to develop. The prototype, called O-pH, uses a low-power light system and an FDA-approved fluorescent dye solution to noninvasively measure oral biofilm acidity on tooth enamel and provide quantitative feedback.

Optical Filters for Point of Care

Delta Optical Thin Film A/S
Point of Care (PoC) instruments have various uses in medical diagnostics, including the detection of infectious diseases such as Covid-19. These types of tests only require a single drop of blood, saliva, or urine and can be performed by a GP within minutes. Many tests require absorbance or fluorescence detection methods, which all demand optical filters. The optical filter is one of the most important components of a PoC instrument. It is used to attenuate unwanted light...

Achieving Ultralow-Loss Photonics Array Alignment
Tue, Apr 26, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Two- and three-dimensional photonic arrays are commonly used for coupling light in photonic integrated circuits. With the increasing demand for ultralow-loss transmission in applications such as datacom, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and quantum computing, the need for fast and precise alignment of photonic arrays to other devices is critical. Darrell Paul presents current industry challenges and limitations as well as automation solutions for achieving ultralow-loss photonics alignment. Presented by Aerotech.

.: All Things Photonics

UCLA researcher Mona Jarrahi breaks down critical achievements in the terahertz domain, with particular focus on terahertz optoelectronics. Biomedical, plasmonic, and imaging applications are explored, as are commercial pursuits. In advance of the inaugural Photonics Spectra Spectroscopy Conference April 12-13, Richard Crocombe, principal at Crocombe Spectroscopy Consulting, and Ellen Miseo, president of the Coblentz Society, introduce listeners to the event program and individual sessions.
