Intraoperative PS-OCT in Cancer Surgery in Dogs and Cats
Thu, Nov 6, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Surgery is a cornerstone of cancer treatment in dogs and cats, but assessing tumor margins has long relied on slow, limited histopathology. Polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) offers a real-time, non-invasive solution for intraoperative margin evaluation. Clinical trials in dogs and cats demonstrate that PS-OCT accurately distinguishes tumor tissue from surrounding structures, enabling immediate surgical intervention when margins are incomplete. This approach may reduce repeat procedures, lower patient morbidity, and ease financial burdens for pet owners. Sponsored by ThorLabs.

Glass Microcomponents for Fiber Connectivity in Co-Packaged Optics and Quantum Photonics
Tue, Nov 11, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
Nowadays, photonic packaging is rapidly evolving, driven by the rise of integrated and quantum photonics. For example, an efficient and precise connection between optical fibers and photonic integrated circuits is essential to ensure high performance, low latency, and signal integrity. FEMTOPRINT, a leader in ultrafast laser microfabrication, addresses this need through the production of high-precision glass microcomponents that offer a unique combination of design flexibility, engineering precision, and scalability for industrial applications.

Bringing AR/VR to the Front Lines – With Rob Schultz
Detailed digital displays are leaping out of our video games and onto the front lines. Vuzix specializes in AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides, and augmented reality. It just secured a contract to provide customized waveguides for one of America's leading defense contractors. Those waveguides will be designed to operate in new, lightweight, head-up displays for military personnel. This technology could provide men and women with maps, vital statistics, and mission-critical intelligence, right in front of their eyes. Rob Schultz, vice president of optics for Vuzix, joins us to discuss how technology is transforming video game fiction into real tactical equipment.
