Light and Sound Reveal Gas Leaks
Feb 1, 1998 — ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Automakers are keeping an eye on a technique that uses laser light to detect gas leaks in engine and exhaust parts. Hermetic containers traveling down an assembly line have to be tested for leaks prior to shipping, or manufacturers risk deflating a customer's expectations. Testing methods include a quick bath in a dunk tank or mass spectroscopy -- time-consuming processes. A new method that uses coherent light, trace gas and ultrasensitive microphones promises to find much...
Mid-IR Lasers Offer Advantages
Feb 1, 1998 — Scientists from the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington and Hughes Research Laboratory in Malibu, Calif., reported that a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) offers a number of advantages over single-mode edge-emitting lasers....
Moon's Measure Is Old Stuff
Feb 1, 1998 — AUSTIN, Texas -- When a reporter from the London Daily Telegraph and, later, another from the British Broadcasting Co. phoned Peter Shelus, an astronomer at the McDonald Observatory, to ask about his research, the scientist was somewhat baffled. The...
Optics Test Could Affect Future Microchips
Feb 1, 1998 — A recent test of optical coatings at MIT may lead to increased interest in solid-state light sources for next-generation microchip lithography. MIT staff scientist Vladimir Liberman conducted the study to evaluate the state of excimer-grade fused...
Fiber Optic Probes Improve UV Raman Spectroscopy
Feb 1, 1998 — Raman spectroscopy has emerged as an important tool in determining analytical and structural information concerning low concentration aqueous biomolecules. However, many samples require in vivo or in situ sampling. To solve this problem, scientists...
Raman Spectroscopy Detects Herbicides in Water
Feb 1, 1998 — Raman Spectroscopy Detects Herbicides in Water ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Researchers at the University of Michigan have employed Raman spectroscopy to measure two herbicides in water. The herbicides, paraquat and diquat, contain chemicals that cause plant...
Single-Mode Tunable Laser Backs up Optical Networks
Feb 1, 1998 — KISTA, Sweden -- Researchers have designed a semiconductor laser tunable in the erbium range that could replace more than 40 conventional fixed-wavelength lasers in dense wavelength division multiplex (WDM) systems. The new laser, a grating coupler...
Technique Lifts Shadows Surrounding Turbulence
Feb 1, 1998 — LOS ANGELES -- A new imaging technique could lead to a better understanding of nonlinear relationships and fiber optic communication by studying fluids. Physicist Steve Putterman at the University of California at Los Angeles and associates at the...
UV Spectroscopy Gauges Sea Salt
Feb 1, 1998 — PADOVA, Italy -- Ultraviolet absorption measurements provide a precise gauge of sea water salinity, an important gauge of ecological health, according to marine researchers here. Measuring sea salinity is important in assessing the movements of...
Laser Vision Aids Robotic Welders
Feb 1, 1998 — PARIS -- Shipbuilding plants have sought welders with top-notch skills for years. Now, thanks to photonics, a new breed of welder -- the robotic kind -- could rival humans in expertise and efficiency. The French Welding Institute developed RoboKid,...
IR Imaging Technology May Rival X-Ray
Feb 1, 1998 — Doctors have relied on x-ray technology for more than a century to diagnose a range of ailments, from broken bones to tumors. Though it is still an indispensable tool, many physicians remain leery of the potential damage the energetic beams can...
Ball Aerospace and COM DEV Launch Start-Up
Feb 1, 1998 — COM DEV International, based in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., have formed Laser Communications International to capitalize on the development of laser-based optical satellites. The new...
Corning and FiberCore Embroiled in Patent Dispute
Feb 1, 1998 — Corning Incorporated has filed a lawsuit against FiberCore Inc., claiming the company violated one of its optical fiber patents. Corning filed suit in the US District Court in Worcester, Mass., on Jan. 8. In response, FiberCore denied it had...
Hubble Telescope Reveals Jupiter's Auroras
Feb 1, 1998 — Scientists have known that Jupiter, like Earth, has auroras at its poles. Now, new instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope and a specially designed filter have enabled University of Michigan astrophysicists to produce some of what they say are...
US Government Opens Advanced Technology Program
Feb 1, 1998 — President Clinton and Commerce Secretary William M. Daley have announced the opening of the first round of competition for the US Department of Commerce's annual Advanced Technology Program. The program provides funding on a cost-shared basis to...
R&D Increases Anticipated in 1998
Feb 1, 1998 — After years of stagnation, funding for R&D in the US may increase this year, according to Battelle, a technology research organization in Columbus, Ohio, and R&D Magazine. They predict R&D spending will grow to more than $215 billion, an...
Avionics Looks to Photonics to Watch Turbulent Skies
Feb 1, 1998 — When commercial flights run into turbulence, the result is usually nothing more than spilled drinks and jostled nerves. However, as the recent incident on United Airlines Flight 826 revealed, sometimes the effects of turbulence can be deadly....
Choosing Lighting for Industrial Imaging: A Refined Art
Feb 1, 1998 — As industrial imaging has grown in popularity over the past few years, so has the awareness that lighting represents a large part of a vision system's success. The primary function of lighting in industrial imaging is to make an object's features of...
Fundamentals of Semiconductor Lasers
Feb 1, 1998 — Semiconductor laser diodes are the smallest, most reliable, and most efficient light source known to man. For that reason, they are commercially interesting devices. Laser diodes have created multibillion dollar industries in optical communications...
Industrial Imaging:
Feb 1, 1998 — Whether it is a simple $10,000 turnkey system, or a $500,000 customized job, the industrial imaging designer faces hundreds of device options, each with a host of suppliers waving fists full of conflicting claims. Dumb versus smart frame grabbers?...
Machine Vision's Next Frontier:
Feb 1, 1998 — As the demands on machine vision continue to increase, the last year has seen two distinct phenomena: The rise of the so-called "smart camera" and the push to develop networked camera systems. These two megatrends in industrial vision are the result...
Microlasers:
Feb 1, 1998 — The progressive replacement of gas lasers and flashlamp-pumped solid-state lasers by more efficient diode-pumped solid-state lasers started in laboratories more than a decade ago. Pumped with a 1-W CW diode laser, passively Q-switched microlasers...
No Bones About It: Lawrence Livermore National Lab Has a Mammoth Problem
