Soon antibiotics may be switched on and off as readily as a light bulb, treating localized infections and potentially even cancer in the process. A team from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Kiev incorporated a photoswitchable molecule into an antibiotic so that its biological activity can be controlled with light of particular wavelengths.

LED Simulation Reflector Lenses
Lambda Research Corp.
TracePro® is an award-winning opto-mechanical design software for layout, optimization, & analysis of illumination systems. This white paper illustrates how TracePro allows users to begin a project with an initial or basic design for LED lighting systems, use software simulation prior to building hardware, and easily create complex reflector shapes. TracePro’s reflector and lens simulation utilities are specifically designed to help CAD designers without traditional optical engineering expertise design LED optical components quickly.

Light Advances in Biomedicine
Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 1 – 2 PM EDT
FREE WEBINAR
Dr. Robert Alfano
|
|
Photonics Media will host Dr. Robert R. Alfano, distinguished professor of science and engineering at The City College of the City University of New York, who will present major advances in optical biopsy and imaging spectroscopy. Alfano will discuss the key fingerprints to detect aggressive cancer cells; two new NIR spectral windows for imaging with less scattering of light in tissue; the use of upper singlet S2 for dyes to increase imaging depth using two-photon techniques; the use of spatial frequency spectra to detect structure in cancerous tissues and the brain; and, most of all, the use of supercontinuum – the ultimate white light – in biomedicine applications.

FEATURED VIDEO
Edmund Optics – Polarization Basics
Polarizers are optical components designed to filter, modify, or analyze the various polarization states of light. Polarizers are commonly integrated into optical systems to decrease glare or increase contrast, or for measuring changes in magnetic fields, temperature, or chemical interactions. Join Brian McCall as he discusses the types of polarization and polarizers. Learn more about polarizers at www.edmundoptics.com/polarizers
