NIF Scientists Claim Repeat Fusion Breakthrough
NIF Scientists Claim Repeat Fusion Breakthrough
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have reportedly advanced last December’s laser fusion breakthrough result. For the second time, scientists obtained more energy from a fusion reaction than the process consumed — achieving a so-called net energy gain.

Silicon Photodetector Rivals III-V Counterparts
Silicon Photodetector Rivals III-V Counterparts
Researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) are developing a strategy to boost the light absorption of thin silicon films. The team demonstrated silicon-based photodetectors with light-trapping micro- and nano-surface structures, achieving performance gains that rival that of gallium arsenide (GaAs) and other group III-V semiconductors.

Stigmatic Optical Imaging: The Past, Present, and Future Stigmatic Optical Imaging: The Past, Present, and Future
Tue, Aug 22, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
The exact equation to design a stigmatic lens has recently been found and extensively studied. This equation allows researchers to explore several stigmatic optical systems showing the systems share several properties. In this presentation, Rafael González-Acuña of Huawei Technologies reviews those properties, starting from the history of the problem in ancient Greece to its solution that was published in 2018. He addresses that solution step by step and explores the mathematical details. He also shares the benefits, applications, and future possibilities of this equation.

Advanced Packaging for Integrated Photonics: From Research to Manufacturing Advanced Packaging for Integrated Photonics: From Research to Manufacturing
Tue, Aug 29, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Advanced packaging enables researchers to combine different technology platforms such as photonics, electronics, micro-electromechanical, and fluidics to address a vast array of exciting applications. Professor Peter O’Brien presents the packaging capabilities established by his research team at the Tyndall Institute, including details about the group's diverse range of research projects in areas such as telecommunications, quantum, and medical devices. The webinar outlines how these advanced packaging processes can be transferred to early-stage manufacturing through the group's leadership of the European Pilot Line, and discusses recent developments by the group to establish the European Photonics Academy to train industry and students in a wide range of advanced photonic technologies.
