Research & Technology News
Printable Filters Manage THz Communications
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 27, 2015 — Filters created with an off-the-shelf inkjet printer could enable blazing-fast wireless downloads and clearer cellphone calls using the terahertz spectrum. University of Utah researchers developed the filters, which are created with silver-metal ink similar to what is used for the production of circuit boards and tiny antennas. Terahertz radiation has wavelengths long enough to be blocked by the millimeter-scale features of the filter designs, which can look like a wavy
Cubic Nanoantennas Eyed for NEMS Biosensors
CLAYTON, Victoria, Australia, Feb. 24, 2015 — Lab-on-a-chip applications could benefit from cubical nanoantennas that direct light more effectively than spherical ones. The cubes, which are composed of insulating rather than conducting or semiconducting materials, are easier to fabricate and...
Model Predicts Metamaterials’ Nonlinear Optical Properties
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 23, 2015 — A new approach that can predict the nonlinear light scattering properties of nanoscale objects could help turn optical metamaterials to more practical uses. The unique electromagnetic properties of metamaterials stem from their physical structure...
‘Flat Lens’ Masters Chromatic Aberration
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 19, 2015 — Overcoming a limitation of earlier flat optics, a new achromatic metasurface is able to bend different wavelengths of light by the same amount. The ultrathin “flat lens” is composed of a glass substrate and nanoscale silicon optical...
Laser Frequency Comb Boosts Solar Telescope Accuracy (with video)
MUNICH, Feb. 18, 2015 — Laser frequency combs can help telescopes achieve unprecedented accuracy in spectral measurements, and may someday aid detection of Earth-sized exoplanets. A team from three German institutions attached a laser frequency comb to the Kiepenheuer...
ZnO Nanowires Create Ultrasensitive UV Smoke Detector
SURREY, England, Feb. 17, 2015 — A new low-temperature nanowire growth process can create ultrasensitive UV sensors for fire detection directly on a microchip. A ZnO nanowire detector created through a seedless hydrothermal technique is 10,000 times more sensitive to UV radiation...
Fluorescent Label Aids Whole-Brain Imaging In Vivo
ASHBURN, Va., Feb. 12, 2015 — A new permanent fluorescent label allows researchers to study complex neural activity in wide swaths of brain tissue in moving animals. Developed at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the label frees scientists from the need to focus a microscope...
Film Enables Touch Displays That Respond to Bending, Heat
WURZBURG, Germany, Feb. 6, 2015 — A novel film could be used to make flexible displays that respond not only to touch but also to bending. Developed by a team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research (ISC), the film is based on piezoelectric printing pastes that render...
Lens Arrays Could Enable Rooftop Solar Concentrators
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Feb. 6, 2015 — Tiny solar cells sandwiched between lens arrays could bring the promise of concentrator photovoltaics (CPVs) down to a consumer scale. “Current CPV systems are the size of billboards and have to be pointed very accurately to track the sun...
Fluorescent Probe Shows Promise in Osteoarthritis Treatment
BOSTON, Feb. 5, 2015 — A near-infrared fluorescent probe may make it easier to diagnose and monitor osteoarthritis. Tested in mice, the probe detected the activity leading to cartilage loss in joints. As the osteoarthritis progressed, the probes’ brightness levels...
Spontaneous Emission Enhanced by Nanoantennas
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 5, 2015 — LEDs equipped with nanoscale optical antennas to spontaneously emit more light could be a better solution than lasers for short-range optical communications. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have taken a first step in this...
Antennas Enable Nanoscale Terahertz Spectroscopy
QUEBEC CITY, Feb. 3, 2015 — Tiny antennas could bring the power of terahertz spectroscopy to bear on large molecules and other nanoscale objects. Nanoantenna-enhanced terahertz spectroscopy (NETS) involves chains of dipole nanoantennas spaced about 20 nm apart. The technique...
Organic Solar Cells Unaffected by Nanostructure
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 4, 2015 — Bulk heterojunction organic solar cells that are highly organized at the nanoscale are no more efficient at creating free electrons than cells with poorly organized structures. That is the finding of a research team led by North Carolina State...
3 Finalists Vie for National Integrated Photonics Institute
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2015 — Three consortia led by the universities of Central Florida, Southern California and New York have been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense to submit full proposals for creating a $220 million Integrated Photonics Institute for Manufacturing...
Mobius Strips Conjured from Beam Polarization
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 30, 2015 — A light beam can be structured so that its polarization twists around like a Mobius strip. The finding, by a team of researchers from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, confirms a theoretical prediction that it is possible for light’s...
Ultrasonic Waves Create One-Way Optical Fiber
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Jan. 30, 2015 — Ultrasonic waves can turn optical fiber into a one-way street for photons, a discovery that could aid the development of quantum computers. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign demonstrated the effect using a silica...
Speed of Light Reduced in Free Space
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. 29, 2015 — Passing a light beam through an optical mask can give its photons a transverse spatial structure that reduces their speed. Researchers from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Glasgow have reported delaying single photons by several microns...
In Memoriam: Charles Hard Townes
BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 28, 2015 — Dr. Charles Hard Townes, whose work on stimulated emission led to the creation of lasers and enabled the photonics industry, died early Tuesday at age 99. Townes won the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing the maser (short for microwave...
Entangled Photons Emitted from Silicon Microring
PAVIA, Italy, Jan. 26, 2015 — Microring resonators could become a chip-scale source of entangled photons crucial to quantum computing and encryption. Such resonators are known to be efficient sources of photon pairs, but a 20-µm silicon resonator developed at the...
Expanded Tissues Show Confocal Microscopes More Detail
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 26, 2015 — JFL Expanded Tissue Shows Confocal Microscopes More Detail CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 26, 2015 — Nobel Prize-winning superresolution microscopy techniques circumvent the diffraction limit of light to image the smallest details of cells. But there...
Photonics Media Seeks Presenters for Biophotonic Imaging Digital Conference
PITTSFIELD, Mass., Jan. 26, 2015 — Researchers in the field of bioimaging around the world are invited to give presentations at a digital conference to be hosted by Photonics Media this summer. “Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine” will focus on a range of light-based...
Fluorometer Measures Glucose Levels Noninvasively
DUBENDORF, Switzerland, Jan. 23, 2015 — A new light-based diagnostic tool allows physicians to monitor blood sugar levels in patients who can’t give blood samples. The Glucolight system is intended to help prevent hypoglycemia in babies born prematurely. It was developed by...
Combining Lasers Leads to More Flexible Pulse Control
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Jan. 22, 2015 — Every laser has its limitations in terms of repetition rate and pulse characteristics, but bringing five lasers together in one system could make those limitations vanish. A device developed at the University of Southampton does just that to...
MEMS-Based QCL Spectrometer Aims at Hazardous Materials Detection
DRESDEN, Germany, Jan. 22, 2015 — A new MEMS-based spectrometer that operates in the mid-infrared could form the basis of a handheld system for detecting hazardous materials. Developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), the device incorporates a 5-mm...
