Ramping Up with High-Intensity Lasers
In Europe, China, and the U.S., laser projects — either built or planned — are ramping up intensity, with systems now reaching peak power of 10 petawatts (PW), or 10 million billion watts. On the drawing boards are lasers that will crack 100 PW peak power, which is high enough to create matter and antimatter from empty space.

Lidar Design Optimization with Advanced Optical Resins
Designing new automotive lidar systems is a complex process, made easier with access to finite element method simulation software and materials data. One of the key simulations performed is time of flight, a process that measures the laser light’s travel time to determine distance to an object. The distance is based on the time elapsed between emission of the signal or pulse and its return to the detector after being reflected by the object.

Sensor Fusion: The Automotive 6th Sense
Advanced vehicles today are full of sensors for monitoring motion, speed, position, pressure, temperature, moisture, and emissions. The number of sensors in cars and trucks will only continue to grow as the demand for advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles increases.

Rice University researchers plan to reconfigure their wastewater-treatment technology to capture and deactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. Their chemical-free nanotechnology, introduced earlier this year as a way to kill bacterial “superbugs” and degrade their antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater, will use graphitic carbon nitride to selectively adsorb viruses and then disable them by activating nearby catalysts with light.

Upgrade Your Fiber Optic Diagnostics with Portable Ultra-High Resolution Optical Backscatter Reflectometry
Tue, Jun 2, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar, presented by Luna Innovations Inc., will explain how optical backscatter reflectometry (OBR) technology can locate and analyze issues and defects in fiber optic assemblies with submillimeter technology, and make very precise measurements of fiber optic latency and length. As fiber optic networks are increasingly deployed in challenging locations and environments, such as in aerospace, military, and marine applications, this webinar will introduce and demonstrate a new, portable, and rugged OBR.
