China May Be Building a Laser to Target US Satellites
Jan 1, 1999 — The Chinese government may be building a high-power laser with the ability to destroy US military satellites hovering over Asia, according to a recent article in The Los Angeles Times. The newspaper cited a declassified report from the US Department of Defense that provided an "educated prediction" but no conclusive proof of the effort. Sources at the Pentagon said China may have enlisted the help of Russian scientists to help carry out the project. Such a laser likely would be modeled after...
Compact Device Measures Electrical Current
Jan 1, 1999 — Harsh environments and confined spaces are no match for an optical fiber-based current sensor that researchers at the Hoya Corp. R&D Center are developing. Electric companies use bulky devices such as gas-insulated circuit breakers to measure...
Dye Improves Efficiency of Organic LEDs
Jan 1, 1999 — A team of researchers from Princeton University in New Jersey has improved the efficiency of electroluminescent organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by introducing a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence emissions occur when electrons become excited,...
Diode Laser Simultaneously Emits at Three Wavelengths
Jan 1, 1999 — Federico Capasso and a team of researchers at Bell Labs have demonstrated a semiconductor laser that simultaneously emits at three wavelengths in the IR. Such a laser may find applications in spectroscopic analysis of trace gases in the atmosphere...
Zeiss to Build Ring Laser Gyroscope
Jan 1, 1999 — The Federal Cartography and Geodesy Office in Frankfurt, Germany, has commissioned Carl Zeiss Inc. in Oberkochen to design and manufacture a laser gyroscope that will measure the Earth's rotation. Engineers will install the gyroscope in three years...
Researchers Alter Rare-Earth Metals
Jan 1, 1999 — Researchers from Vrije University have created an optical method of monitoring the hydrogen navigation that makes an yttrium film switch from reflective to transparent. The method should simplify work for other researchers seeking materials for...
University Unveils Sensitive Microscope for Chip Inspection
Jan 1, 1999 — A technician at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, has built a microscope powerful enough to monitor the inner workings of semiconductor chips. Lynn Edwards, in collaboration with Gerald S. Buller, a researcher at the university,...
Researchers Report Findings on Trapping and Cooling Molecules
Jan 1, 1999 — Researchers have long been interested in the ability to trap and cool molecules to facilitate improvements in ultracold molecular physics and in molecular spectroscopy. Scientists use methods such as laser cooling and cryogenic surface...
System Measures Efficiency of Solar Cells
Jan 1, 1999 — Physicists at the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation have developed a technique to measure imperfections in solar cells. That information points the way to more efficient and cost-effective solar cells. As light strikes a solar cell, it produces...
UV Lasers Stop People in Their Tracks
Jan 1, 1999 — Mork from Ork could freeze people in midaction with a simple point of his alien finger -- diminishing them to dancing, talking, running statues. Now researchers at HSV Technologies Inc. have come up with a device that could put this power into the...
Optical System Speeds Automatic Target Recognition
Jan 1, 1999 — Hoping to overcome the limitations previously associated with automated target recognition, Litton Data Systems has developed a miniature optical correlator that could boost the processing speed of these systems tenfold. Although the project has...
Flat Photomultiplier Tube Peeks out of the Lab
Jan 1, 1999 — Hamamatsu K.K. in Japan recently unveiled a showstopper commercial product for the new millennium: a flat panel photomultiplier tube. The revelation was one of several "Future R&D Plans" announced during the company's Photon Fair, a three-day...
3-D Enhances Videoconferencing
Jan 1, 1999 — By 2010, the boundaries among communications, computing and broadcasting will be hard to discern. To that end, Panorama -- a cooperative project sponsored by the European Union -- presented three-dimensional telepresence systems in October at the...
WDM Enables High-Capacity System
Jan 1, 1999 — Alcatel Optronics has demonstrated the simultaneous transmission of more than 15 million voice circuits on a four-fiber- pair system that uses wavelength division multiplexing. It expects the advance will provide a fourfold increase in the capacity...
Sensors Detect Biological Weapons
Jan 1, 1999 — Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a lightweight, fully automatic biological weapons detection system that one day may find its way to the battlefield. The system, which researchers have tested mounted in an airplane, uses...
Scientists Propose Design Strategies for Two-Photon Absorption
Dec 1, 1998 — The principle behind two-photon-excited fluorescence microscopy is simple: In the presence of laser pulses, molecules simultaneously can absorb two or more photons at longer wavelengths with the same effect as absorbing one photon at a much shorter...
New Telescope Makes the Stars Wheelchair-Accessible
Dec 1, 1998 — In the summer of 1995 the University of Illinois made many of its campus facilities wheelchair-accessible, including the observatory on the roof of the library. It wasn't until a year later, however, that wheelchair-bound visitors could participate...
Diamond Cools Diode Lasers
Dec 1, 1998 — As the saying goes, diamonds are a laser's best friend -- or something like that. Diamond is a material known to spread heat effectively, with low electrical conductivity. The importance of this precious material is growing further because...
Detector Helps Crash Investigation
Dec 1, 1998 — Following the Sept. 2 crash of Swissair Flight 111 just off Nova Scotia, Canadian aviation investigators immediately turned to sonar imaging systems to highlight areas that might contain crash debris. The sonar images indicated large areas of dense...
Hubble Telescope Provides Rare View of Distant Galaxies
Dec 1, 1998 — VXcientists recently got their first glimpse of the oldest, most distant galaxies in the universe from images sent back from the Hubble Space Telescope. A sensitive IR camera detected the faint glow of galaxies estimated to be 95 percent of the way...
Laser Interactions Create Powerful Magnetic Fields
Dec 1, 1998 — Intense laser pulses, which possess strong magnetic and electric fields, can force the electrons in a plasma to oscillate dramatically. It is this unique interaction, which also produces very high current electron jets, that has fascinated...
Nanoshocks Reveal Molecular Behavior
Dec 1, 1998 — What is the first step in an explosion? In energetic materials, the question focuses on the dynamics of molecular behavior. Empirically, we know that we can break bonds and make energy, but how does this violent process start? At the University of...
Sensor Detects Single Photons
Dec 1, 1998 — A new detector, developed at Stanford University, has the sensitivity to measure the location, arrival time and energy of individual photons in the UV to IR wavelength ranges. The Stanford device is based on superconducting transition-edge detecting...
Interferometer Lights Path in Search for Distant Planets
Dec 1, 1998 — Scientists at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory have demonstrated principles that could allow the direct detection of Earth-like planets around distant stars. The 10-µm emission of a gas cloud around Betelgeuse becomes visible...
CO2 Laser Optically Pumps Semiconductor Laser Prototype
Dec 1, 1998 — The CO2 laser, commonly recognized as an industrial workhorse, is not high on the list of potential optical pumping devices, at least not for quantum-well unipolar lasers. But optical pumping a new semiconductor laser is exactly the function of a...
