Millimeter Wave Imager 'Sees' Through Solid Objects
NEWARK, Del., Jan. 4, 2019 — A camera-like device that generates and detects millimeter waves that “see” through solid objects has been built by a University of Delaware (UD) student engineering team. These high-frequency waves, which are more energetic than microwaves but less energetic than IR waves, are not visible to the naked eye. The device produces images as energy is reflected from objects in its path. Like a portable version of the scanners at airport security checks, it can see through nonmetallic objects and...
Fiber Optics for High-Power Applications
Jan 3, 2019 — Specialty fiber components are an increasingly important part of generating and transmitting high-power laser beams for applications ranging from materials processing to laser surgery to lidar. These applications require precision — with...
Optogenetics Device Offers Targeted Control of Light to Neurons
TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 3, 2019 — University of Arizona researchers have developed a wireless, battery-free method for controlling the intensity and frequency of light that is delivered to neurons in the brain. The miniature device for optogenetics can be fully implanted under the...
Use of Light to Stop Itch Could Provide Relief From Skin Diseases
ROME, Jan. 3, 2019 — Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Rome have used light to stop itch — at best an annoyance and at worst an uncomfortable chronic symptom — in mice. They used NIR light to activate a phototoxic agent that selectively...
Microwaveguides Could Speed Control of Light Flux in PICs
NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia, Jan. 2, 2019 — In order to increase the speed with which photonic integrated circuits (PICs) control light flux, researchers are for new materials with high optical nonlinearity. Among the promising materials are microwaveguides based on graphene, a material in...
Nobel Prize Winner Glauber Dies at 93
NEWTON, Mass., Jan. 1, 2019 — Roy J. Glauber, Nobel laureate, passed away Dec. 26, 2018, at the age of 93. Glauber was awarded one-half of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence.” Glauber’s prize-winning work centered on...

Microgears Made from Germanium Generate Twisted Light
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 31, 2018 — Miniature gears made from germanium have demonstrated the ability to generate light that has orbital angular momentum. This new light source could be used to boost the amount of data that can be transmitted through optical computing. Light carries...
Machine Learning Identifies Nearly All US Solar Panels from 1 Billion Images
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 28, 2018 — Stanford University scientists developed a machine learning program that analyzed more than 1 billion high-resolution satellite images and identified nearly every photovoltaic solar power installation in the contiguous 48 U.S. states. They found...
Researchers Achieve Strong Optomechanical Coupling of Light and Sound
LONDON, Dec. 28, 2018 — A strong coupling regime between light and high-frequency acoustic sound waves was demonstrated by a team from Imperial College London, the University of Oxford, and the National Physical Laboratory. The team’s findings could provide a possible...
Open Source Software Can Model Interactions of Femtosecond Laser Pulses
WARSAW, Poland, Dec. 27, 2018 — Hussar software, developed by scientists from the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Physical Chemistry and the University of Warsaw, can be used to perform the complex computations necessary to mathematically describe the interactions that...
Label-Free System Images Molecular Features of Cancer Tissue in Real Time
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Dec. 27, 2018 — A team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has visualized the tumor microenvironment of human breast tissue shortly after it was surgically removed from a patient in the operating room, using a new portable optical imaging system...
Li-Fi Adds Data to Light the Way
Dec 26, 2018 — In the late 1800s, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb glowed for the first time. Within the next decade or so, Guglielmo Marconi’s wireless telegraph ushered in the era of radio frequency (RF) communication. But it wasn’t...
