Fraunhofer, Philips Work to Optimize OLEDs
AACHEN, Germany, Nov. 15, 2010 — Organic LEDs (OLEDs) are seen as the basis for a new generation of lamps, but are still very expensive to process. The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and Philips are working to optimize these lamps by making them bigger, cheaper and more suitable for mass-production. In a new process, extremely fine conductor paths can be applied to glass (Image: Fraunhofer ILT) An OLED consists of a sandwich layer structure — a flat electrode at the...
Light Technology Combats Hospital Infections
GLASGOW, Scotland, Nov. 15, 2010 — A pioneering lighting system that can kill hospital superbugs — including MRSA and C.diff — has been developed at the University of Strathclyde. The technology decontaminates the air and exposed surfaces by bathing them in a narrow...

BIRMINGHAM, England, Nov. 11, 2010 — Aston University is strengthening its photonics research with two new international partnerships set to advance laser telecommunications and nanotechnologies. Alex Rozhin and Sergei Turitysn from Aston’s Photonics Research Group will lead...
ESA Names Supplier of CCDs for Plato
NOORDWIJK, The Netherlands, Nov. 11, 2010 — The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded e2v a contract to develop a CCD imaging sensor for the organization’s Plato (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) space science mission. The aim of Plato is to search for transiting planets...
Light Flow Controlled with All-optical Transistor
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Nov. 11, 2010 — By discovering how to couple light and vibrations, scientists have built a device in which a beam of light traveling through an optical microresonator could be controlled by a second, stronger light beam. The device thus acts like an optical...
Entangled Light Beams Store Quantum Info
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov. 10, 2010 — Quantum information has been stored using two entangled light beams, researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Cophenhagen report. Quantum memory or information storage is a necessary element of future quantum communication...
Fujitsu Cuts Optical Switch Power Consumption in Half
KAWASAKI, Japan, Nov. 10, 2010 — Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. announced its new optical waveguide switch consumes only half the power of a traditional switch through the use of fine-patterned silicon germanium instead of traditional silicon in the refractive-index modulator. Just as...
Herschel Highlights Cosmic Zoom Lenses
NOORDWIJK, The Netherlands, Nov. 10, 2010 — Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory have discovered a new way of finding cosmic zoom lenses, which allow astronomers to peer at galaxies in the distant universe. The magnification allows astronomers to see...
Lasers Simulate Black Hole Radiation
COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 10, 2010 — A team of Italian scientists has fired a laser beam into a chunk of glass to create what they believe is an optical analogue of the Hawking radiation that many physicists expect is emitted by black holes. Although the laser experiment superficially...
Light Signatures Used to Track Black Hole Collisions
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 10, 2010 — Through the use of visible light and existing telescopes, a detailed blueprint has been created to guide astrophysicists pursuing supermassive black holes on a collision course.
2010 Prism Award Finalists Named
Nov 9, 2010 — The finalists have been named for the 2010 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation, an international competition sponsored by Photonics Media and SPIE to recognize photonics products that break conventional ideas, solve problems and improve life...
Graphene Gets a Teflon Makeover
MANCHESTER, England, Nov. 9, 2010 — University of Manchester scientists have created a new material which could replace or compete with Teflon in thousands of everyday applications, including new types of LED devices. Professor Andre Geim, who along with his colleague Professor Kostya...
Plasma Acts as a Fast Optical Switch
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Nov. 9, 2010 — Just like an electrical switch allows the flow of electricity into electrical circuits, relativistic transparency in plasma can act like a fast optical switch allowing the flow of light through otherwise opaque plasma. An ultrahigh intensity...
Sandia Awarded $2.6M in DoE Grants
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 9, 2010 — Sandia National Laboratories announced that four of its researchers have received three-year grants totaling $2.6 million from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science to pursue computational research proposals that would help to create an...
Gold Nanoparticles Advance Bioluminescence
TAINAN, Taiwan, Nov. 8, 2010 — Gold nanoparticles can induce luminescence in leaves, which could lead to more environmentally sound LEDs, researchers in Taiwan report.
UDC Advances Tech for Wet Deposition
EWING, N.J., Nov. 8, 2010 — Universal Display Corp. announced significant advances in the performance of its UniversalP2OLED solution-processible, phosphorescent OLED material systems for use with solution-based manufacturing processes. Display and lighting manufacturers are...
Flexible Smart Material Cloaks Objects
FIFE, Scotland, Nov. 5, 2010 — Using tiny atoms that can interact with light, researchers at the University of St. Andrews have developed a flexible new ‘smart’ material that could theoretically appear invisible to the naked eye. It is the first practical...
Pig Secrets Revealed Through Spectroscopy
MONTREAL, Nov. 5, 2010 — Which are the best pieces of pork, what their texture is, how moist they are — the secrets pigs keep from even the most skilled butchers — are about to be revealed, thanks to a sophisticated technique that has been developed by McGill...
Transparent Material Harvests Light
UPTON, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2010 — Scientists at Brookhaven and Los Alamos national laboratories have fabricated transparent thin films capable of absorbing light and generating electric charge over a relatively large area. Described in the journal Chemistry of Materials, the...
Light on Silicon Better Than Copper?
DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 4, 2010 — By integrating microscopically small lasers with thin film-light guides on silicon, Duke University electrical engineers have demonstrated how optical signals could replace copper in a host of electronic products. The structures on silicon not...
Diagnostic Nanoparticle Tools Target Cancer
ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2010 — Using two grants from the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Nanotechnology Platform Partnerships (CNPP) program totaling $4.7 million, researchers are targeting head, neck and pancreatic cancer with diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticle...
Holographic Display Adds Movement
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 3, 2010 — Holographic imaging technology that can depict a scene in another location and updates every two seconds has been demonstrated for the first time. The technology, known as three-dimensional telepresence, could lead to new applications of holographic...
Laser Controls Quantum State in Diamond
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 2, 2010 — Laser light has successfully been combined with trapped electrons to detect and control the electrons' fragile quantum state without erasing it. This is an important step toward using quantum physics to expand computing power and to communicate over...
