Research & Technology News
Lasers Could Simplify Drilling for Oil
DES PLAINES, Ill. -- DES PLAINES, Ill. -- On the heels of a successful two-year study of the potential of military lasers to drill for natural gas, researchers at the Gas Technology Institute have teamed with the US Department of Energy and with university and industry partners to assess the commercial viability of laser drills for the petroleum industry. Such drills would represent the most significant technological advance in the industry since the advent of rotary drilling a century ago. Lasers promise several...
Lasers Keep Runways Safe
Apr 1, 2001 — A laser illumination system developed by Greatland Laser LLC of Anchorage, Alaska, promises to reduce the accident rate of taxiing aircraft. Currently in testing at the US Federal Aviation Administration’s Technical Center in Atlantic City,...
Lasers Tackle Radioactive Concrete
ARGONNE, Ill. -- ARGONNE, Ill. -- What do you do when you have terminated nuclear power, research and weapons development but still have radioactive buildings hanging around? That’s the problem facing the US Department of Energy (DoE) as it decommissions its...
LEDs May Yield Chemical Sensors
MADISON, Wis. -- MADISON, Wis. -- A class of devices based on LEDs promises to enable the development of cost-effective smart sensors. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated that the chemical sensors, fabricated from standard semiconductor...
Lighter Lidar Takes to the Sky
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. -- WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. -- Satellite pictures of the ocean surface offer insight into the levels of organics that indicate ocean health, but the volume of color imagery exceeds our ability to interpret it. Instrumentation on ships can provide surface...
NASA Tests Quantum Cascade Sensor
Apr 1, 2001 — The results of NASA flight tests have verified the suitability of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers for atmospheric gas measurements. Reporting in the Jan. 20 issue of Applied Optics, project researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in...
Oil Damages Los Alamos Laser Lab
Apr 1, 2001 — Officials at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, N.M., estimated that an oil spill at the Atlas pulse power facility in January caused $1.7 million in damage to a laser research facility in the basement. Seven ultrafast lasers, microscopes...
Optical Technique Enhances Aerosol Studies
WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON -- Understanding the nature of aerosols is vital to designing better nebulizers for chemical analysis and drug delivery, and to investigating fuel mixing in automotive and aerospace applications. Researchers now have a technique at their...
Photonic Crystal Displays Trirefringence
Apr 1, 2001 — Scientists have been familiar with the phenomenon of birefringence ever since Christian Huygens characterized the anisotropy of calcite in the late 1600s. Now a group from University of Southampton in the UK and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. in...
Researchers Probe ’Light Bullets’
Apr 1, 2001 — A team at the University of Technology Chemnitz in Chemnitz, Germany, has presented the results of its observations of light bullets, blocks of plasma generated by the interaction of laser pulses and matter. The findings, which appeared in the Jan....
Shadow Moire Hits the Streets
Apr 1, 2001 — Sidney Guralnick, a professor of civil engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, has developed a moire topography system to eliminate potholes. Called the Automated Road Inspection System, or Aris, the instrument reveals ruts and...
Silver Nanoclusters Store Data
ATLANTA -- ATLANTA -- Every data cloud may someday have a silver lining. Researchers have demonstrated that fluorescing nanoclusters of two to eight silver atoms can store information, a phenomenon that may eventually find applications in optical data storage....
Slow-Motion Movies Aid Engineers
MURRAY HILL, N.J. -- MURRAY HILL, N.J. -- Understanding how high-frequency vibrations behave is important to the engineering of electronic devices such as television sets and cell phones and, most recently, to the fabrication of acousto-optic devices that handle...
Spectroscopy Offers Hope in Land-Mine Detection
NORWOOD, Mass. -- NORWOOD, Mass. -- From Bosnia to Angola to North Korea, the threat to civilians of injury or death by unexploded land mines is very real. Yet for all of the sophistication of 21st-century warfare, land-mine detection continues to depend on a...
Squares May Resolve Exosolar Planets
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- With one exception, astronomers have observed all of the known exosolar planets indirectly by monitoring the changes they elicit in the radial velocities of their parent stars. NASA has an ambitious plan, the Terrestrial Planet...
Third-Harmonic Excitation Improves Resolution
BERKELEY, Calif. -- BERKELEY, Calif. -- When researchers at the University of California teamed a near-infrared laser with a near-field scanning optical microscope, they created a high-resolution imaging technique with chemical specificity. The new system combines an...
Vertical-Cavity Structure Offers Amplification
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers have promised enhanced coupling efficiencies and no polarization dependency for long-distance optical communications, but they have not demonstrated the performance to compete...
Coherent Shows Prototype Laser
Mar 1, 2001 — Santa Clara, Calif.-based Coherent Photonics Group, Laser Div., introduced a prototype solid-state laser at Photonics West in San Jose, Calif., in January. The company hopes that the device, which is in beta testing for commercial release later this...
Crystal Could Improve Optical Communications
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge have fabricated a two-dimensional photonic crystal that controls light in three directions. The work raises the prospect of a...
Crystals Find Work as Beamsplitters
Mar 1, 2001 — Photonic crystals have been the focus of research as all-optical systems for communications and computing move toward reality. A group at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, has taken the work further with the demonstration of crystal-based...
Digital Cinema Is on the Horizon
Mar 1, 2001 — Digital cinema is coming, but don’t expect it to revolutionize the moviemaking process, said Larry J. Hornbeck of Dallas-based Texas Instruments Inc. at Photonics West in San Jose, Calif., in January. "We want to maintain the look of film that...
Fiber Damage Threshold Raised
EDINBURGH, UK -- EDINBURGH, UK -- The flexibility of fiber optics promises to improve laser machining processes, but high-energy lasers damage the fiber and affect the beam quality. Now researchers from Heriot-Watt University, Liverpool University of Liverpool and...
Fibers Yield Efficient Displays
EDINBURGH, UK -- EDINBURGH, UK -- Today’s power-hungry laptops can run for only a few hours before they’ve eaten their way through a full battery. The main culprit is the display, which must be powered to overcome ambient light. That could be set to...
Free-Electron Laser Plunges into the Ultraviolet
Mar 1, 2001 — Pursuing x-ray laser emission for applications across the sciences, an international research team has achieved 109-nm output from a test bed free-electron laser at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany. The system uses a...
Hairy Worm Wears Photonic Crystals
SYDNEY, Australia -- SYDNEY, Australia -- Once upon a time, there was a mouse that wasn’t really a mouse, with fur that wasn’t really fur but photonic crystals. It may sound like a fairy tale, but researchers have discovered that the colorful spines of a...
