Technique Simplifies Laser Linewidth Narrowing
CHONGQING, China, Dec. 1, 2014 — A new method for narrowing laser linewidths could enable precision sensors in portable forms. Based on Rayleigh backscattering, the technique effectively compresses a laser linewidth as low as 130 Hz and side-mode suppression up to 75 dB. It uses a single-longitudinal-mode fiber ring laser using a self-rejection feedback structure at room temperature. Until now the same results have only been possible using highly scattering structures under extremely quiet conditions
DIY Microscope Boosts Efficiency and Cuts Costs
UXBRIDGE, England, Nov. 26, 2014 — A Brunel University London student has developed a DIY microscope that will ultimately cut research costs and save time in the lab. Dr. Adam Lynch, a postdoctoral candidate at Brunel’s College of Health and Life Sciences, created the...
Coating Reflects Sunlight, Radiates Heat to Cool Buildings
STANDFORD, Calif., Nov. 26, 2014 — A thin-film coating has the potential to cool buildings by simultaneously radiating heat from inside and reflecting sunlight. Developed by a team at Stanford University, the 1.8-µm-thick photonic radiative cooling film is made of seven layers...
Spectroscopic Test Improves Photonic Chips
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Nov. 26, 2014 — A technique called ultrafast photomodulation spectroscopy (UPMS) could help not only with testing and characterization of photonic chips, but in making them more reliable and robust. Made from silicon, photonic chips are a key component in the...
Graphene Phenomenon Could Enable New Lasers
DRESDEN, Germany, Nov. 25, 2014 — Understanding the dynamics of electrons in graphene under strong magnetic fields could lead to development of new types of broadband lasers. An international team led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) exposed graphene to a 4-Tesla...
Biomarker System Offers Advanced Cancer Detection
SINGAPORE, Nov. 21, 2014 — A combined biomarker and drug delivery system could lead to very localized, more effective cancer treatment. Developed by researchers at Nanyang Technological University, the biomarker detects and makes visible tumor cells by lighting up under a...
Algorithm Speeds Lidar Assessment of Landslide Risk
CORVALLIS, Ore., Nov. 21, 2014 — Computer algorithms could turn lidar surveying systems into powerful tools for assessing and potentially preventing landslides. Created by researchers at Oregon State University and George Mason University, the Contour Connection Method (CCM) and is...
Metamaterial Polarizing Filter Brightens LCDs, Photos
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 21, 2014 — Polarizers are vital for LCDs and photography, but they waste energy by blocking enormous amounts of light. A new filter skirts this obstacle. A team from the University of Utah developed the polarizing filter, which allows more light in to increase...
Invisibility Cloak Uses Ordinary Lenses
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2014 — Invisibility cloaks could be a step closer to reality, thanks to a new device that uses readily available materials to cloak objects across a wide range of angles. Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a combination of four...
Laser Delves Deep into Prehistoric Environments
BREMEN, Germany, Nov. 19, 2014 — A look back via laser into sedimentary organic matter that accumulated on the sea floor could shed light on past climates and environments for a better understanding of the future. A new technique, developed by a team at the University of...
Nonlinear Microscopy Measures Effects of Laser Skin Surgery
FLORENCE, Italy, Nov. 19, 2014 — The effects of laser-based skin-tightening plastic surgery can be obvious to the naked eye, but harder to examine below the surface and at the microscale without a biopsy. A team from the University of Florence and other Italian institutions has...
Image Correlation Helps Optimize Laser-Based 3-D Printing
LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2014 — Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis could help prevent warping of metal parts made via laser-based additive manufacturing. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used the technique to find correlations between the power and speed...
Providence Photonics Receives EPA Grant for Flare Monitor Commercialization
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2014 — Providence Photonics in Baton Rouge, La., has been awarded a $2.7 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to commercialize its flare efficiency monitoring system. The system allows...
Stimulating Light Receptors Relaxes Blood Vessels
BALTIMORE, Nov. 17, 2014 — A blood vessel receptor that responds to light could aid more effective treatment of vascular diseases and other medical conditions. A team led by Johns Hopkins Medicine discovered the receptor, which causes blood vessels to relax in response to...
New Class of Material Simulated in Laser Trap
ZURICH, Nov. 14, 2014 — Laser “honeycombs” have enabled the simulation of theoretical materials with curious properties. By aligning multiple laser beams in such a way that they create standing waves with a hexagonal pattern, a team from ETH Zurich’s...
Laser Detects Methane Leaks
FREIBURG, Germany, Nov. 13, 2014 — A new laser system can detect biogas and natural gas that escape through leaks in gas lines or fermenters at biogas plants. A team led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPM developed the system, which can reveal leaked...
Laser Trap Studies Asthma Drug’s Journey from Inhaler to Lung
CAMBRIDGE, England, Nov. 13, 2014 — More efficient asthma treatments could be possible thanks to a laser “trap” that examines how drug particles expelled from inhalers behave as they enter the respiratory tract.
MIR Laser Creates High-Flux X-Ray Pulses
VIENNA, Nov. 13, 2014 — Studying time-dependent incidents on short timescales requires femtosecond, high-flux x-ray pulses. A new high-intensity mid-infrared laser system accomplishes this challenging feat.
Brain Studies Advance Neural Mapping, Axon Control
ARLINGTON, Texas, Nov. 12, 2014 — Probing the brain with lasers could not only advance understanding of the organ, but also help heal it.
Drugs Enhance SPECT Imaging of Metastatic Cancer
NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2014 — New drugs that bind to metastatic prostate cancer in soft tissue, lymph nodes and bone can enhance SPECT and planar imaging.
Shifting Modes Enable Free-Space Optical Communication
VIENNA, Nov. 12, 2014 — Twisted beams of light have been used to transmit images through the air over 3 km, demonstrating significant data-carrying capacity of light in free-space communications. A team from the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI),...
Phosphorescent Bandage Helps Wound Assessment
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 11, 2014 — A “smart” bandage can indicate oxygen concentration in severely damaged tissue, potentially increasing the success rate of surgeries to restore limbs and physical functions. With wounded soldiers in mind, a team from the Wellman Center...
