Embedded Vision Is Streamlined for Application on a Massive Scale
Compact, efficient, and highly application specific, embedded vision technology increasingly offers performance and price points that would have been impossible to achieve only a few years ago. The steady advancement in capabilities has been driven by improvements in all component technologies, including sensors, optics, and processors. But the most revolutionary advancements have unfolded in the last category — processors — helping to multiply many of embedded vision’s more recent innovations.

Multiband Optical Filters Are Telecom Networks' Multitaskers
Recent advancements in multiband and multifunction optical filters have expanded the benefits to telecom components. Such filters not only supported the development of dual- and multibandpass filters for use in the backbone WDM architectures associated with wireless networks, they also enabled hybrid gain-flattening filters that couple gain-flattening functionality with laser pump blocking. These component advancements leverage the power of multiband filters to improve performance and save module build costs.

A two-dimensional array of tantalum disulfide containing microscopic crystals possesses distinct optical characteristics that can be controlled in ambient conditions and under general illumination, according to researchers at Rice University. The technology could prove useful in 3D displays, virtual reality, and self-driving vehicles.
|
|
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method that uses a single laser cavity to create two high-powered optical frequency combs, emitting high-power femtosecond pulses. The advance supports potential future developments that move toward designing more compact dual combs that offer flexibility in power, wavelength, bandwidth, and pulse repetition rates.
