Beamsplitter Coating Enables Virtual Display in Automobiles
Nov 1, 2003 — The modern automobile control console has evolved from "dummy lights" to an integrated series of high-tech displays. A new example of such an advanced display is the in-dash navigation system in the 2004 DaimlerChrysler Pacifica, which enables the...
Deposition Equipment Fine-Tunes Optical Coatings
Nov 1, 2003 — Over the past few years, the need to pack more telecommunications channels into a given swath of optical spectrum has forced manufacturers to offer deposition equipment that produces less costly and more uniform optical coatings. Although the pace...
Diagnostic Laser Beam Measurement
Nov 1, 2003 — Measurement of spatial beam intensity distribution — a beam profile — and of beam propagation characteristics is an integral part of today’s many high-precision, laser-based applications where beam quality is critical. The basic definitions and...
New Model Advances Plasmonics
Nov 1, 2003 — Scientists at Houston's Rice University have developed a model of the plasmon response of metallic nanostructures to light that may facilitate the development of such nanomaterials and devices. Plasmons are light-generated electronic density waves....
Montana Firm Wins S2-Chip Technology Funding
Oct 1, 2003 — To further develop S2-Chip technology for improved radar systems, Scientific Materials Corp. of Bozeman, Mont., has received a one-year contract worth $1,531,000 from the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command in Huntsville, Ala. The S2-Chip...
Optical Stimuli Control Magnetism in Novel Materials
Oct 1, 2003 — In 1886, Heinrich Hertz observed that utraviolet light, when directed at a conduction plate, caused an increase in electrical charge. Einstein later articulated this as the photoelectric effect and explained how light waves or photons exist in...
Polymer Optics Gain Respect
Oct 1, 2003 — For many years, polymer optics languished as the stepchild of the photonics world. Considered unsuitable for high-precision applications, plastic lenses were relegated to toys, low-accuracy eyepieces and low-end cameras — markets where high volumes,...
