A Quantum Tool Set Could Reshape Laser Beam Profiling
A Quantum Tool Set Could Reshape Laser Beam Profiling

With applications for lasers constantly expanding, the need to precisely monitor the lasing process to ensure optimal and repeatable performance places stringent requirements on beam-profiling mechanisms. Industry widely agrees on many of the standards that govern effective beam profiling as well as the parameters — such as power, shape, and energy — for which data is needed to determine the utility of the laser.  Read Article 
Adapting Metallic Coatings for Dynamic Applications
Adapting Metallic Coatings for Dynamic Applications

Each type of metallic coating offers its own unique set of benefits and shortcomings. By carefully selecting the proper material(s) — whether aluminum, silver, nickel, or gold — as well as the necessary enhancements, manufacturers can expand the range of applications for mirrors from high-precision scientific instruments to commercial products and beyond.  Read Article

SPIE Announces Finalists for 2025 Prism Awards
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, has named finalists for the 2025 Prism Awards. The 24 products — from companies ranging from emerging innovators to industry stalwarts — selected in eight categories, will be honored during a Jan. 29 gala evening at SPIE Photonics West.  Read Article 

Unidirectional Imaging Enables Asymmetric Visual Info Processing
Traditional imaging systems are bidirectional — if a camera can see a person, the person can see a camera. Researchers at UCLA recently developed a new type of imaging technology that could revolutionize how visual information is captured and processed: unidirectional imaging. By allowing images to be formed in only one direction, this technology provides an efficient and compact method for asymmetric visual information processing and communication.  Read Article 

Photoresist Enables High-Throughput, High-Resolution Nanolithography
A new cationic-based photoresist can improve the production speed of two-photon lithography without sacrificing resolution. The highly sensitive photoresist, called TP-EO (short for two-photon epoxy oligomer), was developed by a team at Zhejiang University.  Read Article
