OLED Modules for Textile Integration
Flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) elements are destined for integration into textiles, and they promise to be an optimal technology for integrating light into clothing and other cloth surfaces. The demand for flexible
OLED integration into garments is already on the rise. OLED-based lighting elements have outstanding characteristics, including high pliability and low weight, which make them ideal for use in fashion clothing or accessories. Beyond consumer-oriented fashion, flexible OLEDs have potential professional applications in security, emergency and rescue, and the outdoor or fitness industries.

Aspheric Optics for Nuclear Research
Nuclear research laser facilities around the world increasingly use powerful, amplified, ultrashort-duration pulses of coherent light to deliver massive energy densities at a given target. The synchronized delivery of such high-power pulses generates extreme conditions that allow scientists to carry out state-of-the-art nuclear research. It also enables the study of conditions that exist only in exotic and distant environments, such as the core of our sun and beyond. These facilities enable researchers to advance knowledge in fields such as particle and nuclear physics, materials science, and astrophysics, with applications that range from nuclear energy to medicine.

Improved Lasers and Techniques Benefit Materials Processing
For laser materials processing systems, power levels are up, costs are down, and there are innovations in beam delivery and control. These developments are expanding the use of lasers in welding, cutting, surface treatment, and other applications. But there are still challenges to overcome, such as devising the best integrated solution or dealing with difficult materials.

Lensless Holographic Endoscope Is Self-Calibrated
Researchers at Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden) have developed a tiny, self-calibrating endoscope that produces 3D images of objects smaller than a single cell. Without a lens or any optical, electrical, or mechanical components, the tip of the endoscope measures just 200 µm across.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have developed a method to isolate thin layers of tungsten diselenide (WSe2) — a 2D material — from crystals, to allow layers of WSe2 to be stacked on top of other atomically thin materials such as boron nitride and graphene. The discovery could further the use of WSe2 for building smaller, more efficient computing devices.

Solving Challenges in Defect Inspection of Advanced Optics
Mon, Sep 23, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Bruker Corp., will discuss how a white-light interferometry (WLI) optical profiler performs precise, fully automated defect inspection of advanced optical components such as lenses, mirrors, prisms, and windows. The noncontact WLI technique combines subnanometer vertical resolution over square-millimeter-large areas, enabling 100% inspection of high-quality optics through direct measurement of topography. Presenter Samuel Lesko will explain how customized analysis can easily spot the most minute defects, even in cases of complex surface geometry, and how customized analysis can automatically output critical information of detected defects (size, depth/height, orientation, location) without operator intervention or an etching step.
