SPEX: Combining Spectroscopy and Polarimetry for Remote Sensing
Wed, Sep 28, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Spectropolarimetry is a powerful technique for remote sensing of the environment. Combining spectroscopy and polarimetry makes it possible to probe particle shape and size distributions that traditional spectroscopy cannot. However, measuring all these dimensions at once is challenging. SPEX solves this problem by encoding polarization into the spectrum through spectral modulation, meaning the instrument measures spectral radiance and polarization at once. This enables snapshot hyperspectral measurements with high precision and accuracy. Olivier Burggraaff discusses the physics and instrumentation behind the SPEX technique and existing instruments, as well as their current and future scientific applications.
A Technical Exploration of Spatial Light Modulators and Their Latest 3D Applications
Thu, Sep 29, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
LASER COMPONENTS brings together some of the brightest minds in the industry for a one-hour workshop. Doctoral students Liang Shi of MIT, Praneeth Chakravarthula of Princeton University, and Manu Gopakumar of Stanford University share how they are applying spatial light modulators (SLMs) within holography, beamsplitting, and photonics projects. And Stefan Osten of HOLOEYE discusses the technical specifications of SLMs and leads an interactive Q&A session. HOLOEYE has been pioneering photonics technology for over 20 years and is an expert in SLMs. Presented by LASER COMPONENTS.
