Hybrid Photonics Expands Capabilities
Hybrid Photonics Expands Capabilities
Alone, nothing is perfect. So when various materials in photonics applications work in tandem, a better performing hybrid approach arises, and teamwork prevails. Examples of such hybrid photonics can be found in existing and emerging commercial products. However, to successfully compete with incumbent technologies, hybrids must integrate different materials and simultaneously achieve required performance and reliability.

Supertwisted Light from a Metasurface Laser
Supertwisted Light from a Metasurface Laser
Structured light refers to the tailoring or shaping of light in all its degrees of freedom. The recent development of structured light supports applications such as optical communications, enhanced resolution in imaging, and optical trapping and tweezing. Chiral light is foremost among the family of structured light fields that carries spin angular momentum (±ℏ per photon, depending on the handedness) and orbital angular momentum.

The Laser Turns 60
The Laser Turns 60
Six decades ago, in a windowless lab on a hilltop above the Pacific Ocean, Theodore (Ted) Maiman — assisted by Irnee D’Haenens — tested a palm-size device that would upend the scientific establishment. Working at Hughes Research Lab (now HRL Laboratories and formerly the research arm of Hughes Aircraft Co.) in Malibu, Calif., Maiman had built the prototype in less than nine months with a paltry budget of $50,000. It was a fraction of what his competitors working on well-funded projects worldwide at powerhouse facilities had to accomplish the same task, which was to build the world’s first laser.

Principles and Applications of Light and Color Measurement Principles and Applications of Light and Color Measurement
Wed, Aug 19, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
The properties of light that stimulate the eye and build our visual perception also guide the design of illuminated devices. In this webinar, the presenters will explain how manufacturers use photometric technology to best assess the visual quality of displays, backlit components, and light sources —— as they are actually seen and experienced by users. Presented by Radiant Vision Systems.
