More precise control of light could be on the horizon, prompting advances in solar photovoltaics, among other applications. Researchers from MIT have developed the first system that allows light of any wavelength to pass through from a specific direction, and that reflects all light coming from other angles.

Power Technology’s iMAT® DPSS Laser Platform Ideal for Raman Spectroscopy
Power Technology, Inc.
Power Technology’s iMAT® series of DPSS lasers are inherently beneficial to the Raman Spectroscopy industry because of its patented technology which inherently produces actively stabilized single frequency wavelengths at 532 nm and 1064 nm. This revolutionary technology earned international recognition by winning the Frost & Sullivan European Diode-Pumped Solid State Laser Technology Innovation of the Year award in 2009.

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.
