Research & Technology News
A Photon for Your Thoughts
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Photonics is still a long way away from reading your thoughts, but a new optical scanning technique can at least detect where and when in your brain those thoughts are activating neurons. Unlike spatially resolved techniques for viewing brain functions, the scanner developed at the University of Illinois uses a time-resolved approach to provide images in real time. Physicists led by Enrico Gratton at Illinois developed the underlying technology to penetrate skeletal musc...
American Xtal Technology Grows Silicon Carbide Crystals
Jun 1, 1999 — Companies have eyed silicon carbide for its potential use in a wide range of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Now American Xtal Technology Inc. in Fremont, Calif., has announced it has grown its first silicon carbide crystals, which could pave...
Corning Delivers Mirror for Airborne Laser
Jun 1, 1999 — The US Air Force’s Airborne Laser Program has marked another milestone with the delivery of the primary optical mirror to Contraves Brashear Systems LP in Pittsburgh. Manufactured by Corning Inc. in Corning, N.Y., the mirror will focus the...
Ge-Doped Glass Produces Unique Light Polarization
Jun 1, 1999 — Researchers led by Patrick Kazansky of the Optoelectronics Research Center at the University of Southampton in the UK have conducted a series of experiments that may further explain light polarization in glass. They used Ge-doped silica glass, which...
InGaN Quantum-Well Laser Diode Achieves CW Operation
Jun 1, 1999 — Researchers from Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center in California have demonstrated continuous-wave (CW) operation of InGaN quantum-well laser diodes at room temperature. The quantum wells were grown on sapphire substrates using organic...
Laser Sampler Takes Aim at Mars
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — In a bid to improve on the soil sampling methods used in planetary exploration, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing a laser-based system suitable for use on Mars that would work rapidly and remotely. Laser plasma is formed...
Laser Scoring Improves Glass
CORNING, N.Y. -- CORNING, N.Y. -- Three decades ago it was proposed that a CO2 laser could be used to draw a crack in a sheet of glass to separate it into smaller pieces. Further developed in Russia, the technique was brought to Corning Inc. in 1989 to scale it up...
Lasers to Bring Order to Construction Site
GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- Keeping track of personal items is a challenge familiar to many of us. The problem is on a much larger scale for contractors, who must coordinate hundreds of materials, workers and tools on construction sites. In a business...
Lidar Helps Researchers Analyze
Jun 1, 1999 — Researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., are using an assortment of remote sensors, including a polarimetric radiometer, lidar, radar and weather balloons, in a series of tests aimed at improving knowledge of...
Method Speeds Superconductor Lithography
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Superconducting materials have a number of potential applications, including high-performance amplifiers, switches and logic circuits. Tailoring the size, shape and pattern of their microstructures provides control of the critical current, the point...
Microscopic Bundle Lases Like a Sieve
DARMSTADT, Germany — A recent innovation in lasers might make a bundle -- a microscopic bundle, anyway. Researchers at the Darmstadt University of Tech nology have fabricated a new class of microlasers by using a molecular sieve to hold an organic dye.A scanning...
Optical Sensor Promises Safer Air Travel
Jun 1, 1999 — An optical sensor could offer added security to pilots and passengers flying on commercial airliners. Developed by Physical Sciences Inc. in Andover, Mass., the sensor sends pulses from a diode laser upstream of the main part of the aircraft’s...
Photodynamic Therapy Targets Eyes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Doctors at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary recently began preclinical trials of photodynamic therapy treatments for age-related macular degeneration and ocular melanoma. Patients are injected with a photosensitive chemical that accumulates in...
Photonic Homes and Gardens
TUCSON, Ariz. -- TUCSON, Ariz. -- The remodeling plans for the kitchen of Stephen Jacobs did not include this fan-shaped spectral decor. Jacobs, a retired professor from the University of Arizona’s Optical Sciences Center, attributes the serendipitous design...
Quantum Onions Add Zing to Nanoscience
MAINZ, Germany — Development of quantum onions could signal the onset of salad days for nanoscientists at the University of Mainz. The crystals, so called because of their layers of semiconductor material, add further seasoning to researchers' knowledge of how...
Researcher Explains Physics Behind Sonoluminescence
Jun 1, 1999 — For 10 years scientists have struggled to explain the physics behind sonoluminescence, a phenomenon characterized by a tiny dot of light emanating from a solitary, sonically driven bubble. In a paper that appeared in the April 1 issue of Nature,...
Robotic System Models Human Vision
BALTIMORE — A major step toward making science fiction a reality -- developing robots that can see like humans under real-life conditions -- is under development at Johns Hopkins University. With the aid of a chip-based vision system, a toy car was able to...
Russian Researcher Proposes New Spectroscopy Excitation Source
Jun 1, 1999 — One difficulty with Cr4+ and Ti3+ lasers is the delay between pumping and lasing pulses. This delay poses problems for spectroscopy, which needs an excitation source that has high temporal stability with respect to the pumping pulse position. Now a...
Sensor Exhibits Long Luminescence Decay Time
Jun 1, 1999 — Researchers have proposed decay-time-based schemes to sense oxygen, pH and CO2, although only oxygen optodes have found practical applications. A research group from the Institute of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Regensburg in Germany...
Spectroscopies Offer Integrated View
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Two scientists who integrated data from four spectroscopy methods have found an innovative way to test hazardous materials and aging nuclear weapons stockpiles. The technology will provide images of heterogeneous materials that will allow scientists...
Stone-Cold Telescope Will Spot Cosmic Neutrinos
MADISON, Wis. — Antarctica is stone cold, covered by a miles-deep sheet of ice. But that ice makes the South Pole ideal for a cosmic neutrino telescope. This drawing shows the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array as of July 1998. The latest version of the...
Study Assesses Needle Heat
WARREN, Mich. — Industrial sewing is one of the most common manufacturing operations in the automotive industry, producing an array of products such as dashboard padding, air bags, seat cushions and backs from synthetic fabric, plastic and leather. During the...
ZrW2O8 Could Help Fiber Optics
MURRAY HILL, N.J. — More than three decades have passed since the unique properties of zirconium tungstate were first observed by Penn State University researchers. This material exhibits negative thermal expansion -- expansion occurs on cooling rather than heating --...
Blue Diodes Get Ultrashort Pulses
BERLIN -- BERLIN -- PicoQuant GmbH has introduced a blue diode laser system with a picosecond pulse width and high repetition rate that may prove useful as an excitation source in time-resolved fluorescence research. The German company has taken the...
Cymer Expands into Extreme UV
SAN DIEGO -- SAN DIEGO -- As the semiconductor industry debates next-generation lithography, the players are scrambling to develop components for the narrowing field of choices. Cymer Inc. recently announced that it has entered the game, working on a 13.5-nm...
