Compact Single-Photon Lidar Provides High Resolution for Air and Space
Compact Single-Photon Lidar Provides High Resolution for Air and Space

Despite advancements in airborne, single-photon lidar, existing systems have relatively large payloads and high energy consumption. Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China addressed these challenges and achieved a compact, lightweight, single-photon lidar system with a low-power payload and high-resolution imaging. The new system could make lidar practical for air and space applications like environmental monitoring, 3D terrain mapping, and object identification.  Read Article

Advanced OPA Boosts Energy of Ultrashort Pulses for Attosecond Imaging

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics developed a way to generate high-energy, single-cycle, MIR pulses. The method, called advanced dual-chirped optical parametric amplification, increases the energy of single-cycle laser pulses by a factor of 50, and can be used to generate extremely short pulses with a peak power of 6 terawatts.  Read Article

Laser-Treated Cork Remedies Oil Spills Sustainably with Solar

A research collaboration between Central South University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev demonstrated that laser-treated cork can offer a sustainable solution for the cleanup of oil-contaminated seawater. The researchers used a femtosecond laser processing technique to transform ordinary cork into a solar-driven tool for treating oil spills. The laser-modified cork, which the researchers call FSLA-cork, exhibited a high rate of light absorption and efficient photothermal conversion.  Read Article

Realizing photonic quantum technologies, such as an optical quantum computer or a quantum communication link between distant superconducting qubits, will require the development of novel photonic components. Monolithic silicon or silicon nitride photonic platforms are falling short with respect to the requirements of the quantum domain, and it is envisioned that a hybrid solution is needed. In this talk, Christian Haffner of IMEC shortly discusses what hybrid solutions the silicon photonic platform can offer in terms of detectors, sources, and modulators. His primary focus lies on the electro-optical modulator covering the requirements that the quantum world enforces. He compares the classical and quantum theoretical framework, and sketches out what performance metrics a quantum electro-optical modulator needs to fulfill.
