Light-Activated Implants Signal Specific Deep Tissue
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 23, 2013 — A number of novel therapies under development rely on inducing specific cells to do specific things, but getting the right message to the right group of cells — and at the right time — remains a major challenge. And the use of light to communicate with cells has been restricted by its difficulty in passing through tissue. Now, however, new light-activated implants have been developed that its creators say can deliver light signals to specific tissues deep within the body. "Scien...
Avantes Expands Machine Shop
APELDOORN, Netherlands, Oct. 22, 2013 — Spectrometer maker Avantes has expanded the machine shop at its headquarters to allow for faster prototyping, more special products and easier upgrades, the company said Tuesday. "In spectroscopy, one size doesn’t fit all," Avantes founder and...
Fianium Awarded R&D Projects Worth $2.1M
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Oct. 20, 2013 — Fianium was recently awarded three research and development projects by the UK government worth approximately £1.35 ($2.1 million) to develop its ultrafast and supercontinuum fiber lasers for high-volume industrial and medical applications,...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11, 2013 — Alan E. Willner of the University of Southern California has been elected as The Optical Society’s (OSA) 2014 vice president. Three directors at large were also chosen at this year’s election, held at the society’s annual meeting...
Fiber Optic Links May Show Height Differences Between Optical Clocks
GARCHING and BRAUNSCHWEIG, Germany, Oct. 7, 2013 — A new approach uses optical atomic clocks to precisely measure height differences between locations thousands of kilometers apart, a development that could have implications for quantum mechanics, geodesy and radio astronomy. Researchers from the...
Better Optical Modulators Boost Silicon Photonics
BOULDER, Colo., & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 3, 2013 — Improvements to two optical modulators are seen as a major step toward a major goal in silicon photonics: enabling microprocessors to use light instead of electrical signals to communicate with transistors on a chip. The pair of optical modulators...
Tiny Camera Takes a Wide View
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2013 — A new imager achieves the optical performance of a traditional wide-angle or fish-eye lens — and in high resolution — but in a device less than one-tenth the volume. Such a system could enable high-resolution imaging in unmanned aerial...
NSF grants bolster tech training programs
Oct 1, 2013 — The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded funding to photonics education programs with the goal of increasing the number of qualified technicians available in the workforce. $3.5 million in grant funding has gone to the National Center for...
People In The News
Oct 1, 2013 — Bruker Corp. of Billerica, Mass., has named Thomas Bachmann as president of its BioSpin Group, which operates the Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Preclinical Imaging divisions. Bachmann, who has a background in life sciences and management,...
Photonics pros love their work, survey shows
Oct 1, 2013 — The percentage of respondents reporting high job satisfaction surpassed last year’s 82 percent in SPIE’s new salary survey of the global optics and photonics community. This year’s results show 85 percent of respondents report high...
Electrical Quantum States Translated to Optical Ones
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2013 — Using a piezoelectric optomechanical crystal to generate a strong optical response, a UC Santa Barbara team has demonstrated a nanomechanical interface between optics and electronics, the first — and arguably the most challenging — step...
A BOLD Idea for Handling ‘Big Data’
HOUSTON, Sept. 23, 2013 — A new optical network being developed at Rice University will help streamline demanding, data-intensive computations in a customized, energy-efficient way. The new network, BOLD — short for Big Data and Optical Lightpaths-Driven Networked...
Graphene on Chip Closing the Gap with Germanium
VIENNA, CAMBRIDGE, Mass., & HONG KONG, Sept. 17, 2013 — Graphene-based photodetectors can efficiently convert infrared light into electrical signals, three independent studies report this week. The work "makes it very likely that graphene will soon replace germanium and compound semiconductors in...
TeraXion, Canadian Fab Center Join Forces
QUEBEC CITY and OTTAWA, Ontario, Sept. 12, 2013 — TeraXion Inc. and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) announced that they are partnering to develop and fabricate TeraXion’s new modular products.
Gun Laser Presented at FEL Conference
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2013 — A new concept for the SwissFEL laser based on a hybrid Ytterbium oscillator and amplifier was presented at the Free Electron Laser Conference in late August by a team from Paul Scherrer Institute and France-based ultrafast laser maker Amplitude...
Laser-Based Tool Tells Normal Tissue From Tumors
ANN ARBOR, Mich., & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 5, 2013 — A new laser tool can microscopically distinguish between normal and cancerous brain tissue in real time. Since it doesn’t miss cells that could trigger new tumor growth, the method could make brain cancer surgery much more effective.
Southampton Opening Center for Photonics, Electronics
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Sept. 5, 2013 — The largest photonics and electronics institute in the UK officially opens Sept. 12 at the University of Southampton. The Zepler Institute, a multidisciplinary center, will allow more than 300 researchers in photonics, advanced materials and quantum...
Superbright Nanocrystals Advance Biosensing
SYDNEY & ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 3, 2013 — The combination of a special kind of nanocrystal known as a SuperDot™ and a unique optical fiber that enables light to interact with nanoscale volumes of liquid has allowed the detection of a single nanoparticle from a distance using light. These...
Fiber design could boost Internet bandwidth
BOSTON – A new kind of optical fiber stable enough to transmit donut-shaped laser beams called optical vortices, or orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams, promises to increase bandwidth dramatically to meet today’s ever-increasing demand for...
Multimode Splitters Improve Data Transmission
Sep 1, 2013 — A new generation of multimode splitters offers impressive features and performance for optical fibers used in data centers and other applications requiring large data transfer. Optical waveguides have been the vanguard of data transmission for...
