Research & Technology News
Scientists Synchronize Chaotic Lasers
Apr 1, 1998 — In the early 1990s, two scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Rajarshi Roy and K. Scott Thornburg, made breakthroughs in controlling the chaotic fluctuations in light intensity in certain laser systems. Now Roy has reported using chaotic fluctuations to encrypt information that is transmitted from one laser to another over fiber optic cable. The research could make it possible to hide private transmitted messages. Roy reported sending signals at a rate of 10 Mb/s, but...
Spectroscopic Technique Images Cell Physiology
Apr 1, 1998 — Chemists and physiologists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed an imaging technique that relies on fluorescence spectroscopy to provide detailed information about a cell's physiology. The scientists combined...
Spectroscopy Reveals Benefits of Ocean Particles
Apr 1, 1998 — Bioengineers at the University of Washington are using laser-scattering spectroscopy to determine whether carbon-based molecules in the ocean could play a role in the carbon cycle and, by extension, in moderating the greenhouse effect. Pedro...
Water Aids Laser Materials Processing
Apr 1, 1998 — According to an ancient Roman saying, single drops of water can penetrate rocks. Inspired by this wisdom, a group of Swiss researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne has discovered that a clever combination of hydrodynamics and laser...
Adaptive Optics System Enhances 3.5-m Telescope
Mar 1, 1998 — The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, and Adaptive Optics Associates in Cambridge, Mass., have installed an adaptive optics system on the joint German and Spanish 3.5-m telescope in Calar Alto, Spain. The optical system...
Cantilever Thermal Detector to Challenge Microbolometer
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an uncooled thermal infrared detector that they hope will cut the costs of IR cameras by one-third. Researchers Panos Datskos and Slobodan Rajic have developed a microcantilever,...
Coast Guard Brings New Life to Lighthouse
Mar 1, 1998 — The US Coast Guard has agreed to restore the original lens in a historic Florida lighthouse. The diamondlike lens is one of only eight clamshell-design Fresnel lenses still operating in the US. The Coast Guard had planned to replace the 1907 lens...
Electrons 'Self-Trap' on Crystal Surfaces
Mar 1, 1998 — For years, scientists have sought answers to questions about the microscopic properties of solid surfaces and interfaces. The end of that search may be a little closer, in light of a paper recently published by a team of researchers from the...
External Cavity Amplifier Targets Printing, Imaging and Telecom
Mar 1, 1998 — Targeting low coherence optical coherence tomography, large-scale printing and telecom applications, researchers at the University of Central Florida's Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers have developed a flexible multilayer,...
Federal Agencies Join in Air Safety Program
Mar 1, 1998 — Despite the best efforts of air traffic controllers, pilots sometimes have to rely on old-fashioned visual sightings to avoid collisions. Although red or white anticollision lights on planes provide a last defense, the field intensity measurements...
Infrared Sensor Works Better than Coffee
Mar 1, 1998 — A helmet-mounted infrared sensor promises to reduce heavy-truck accidents caused by sleepy drivers. According to South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, mining companies suffer substantial losses each year when drivers fall...
Integrated Photodetector Improves Wireless Communications
Mar 1, 1998 — Wireless communications of the future may offer better performance, thanks to a photodetector developed by the University of California's Integrated Photonics Laboratory. The velocity-matched distributed photodetector, developed under the leadership...
Micromachine Aligns Optical Fiber
Mar 1, 1998 — Aligning optical fibers in manufacturing production lines may soon become easier, thanks to an active fiber optic microaligner developed by The Boeing Co. in St. Louis. The prototype device is 4 mm square and 0.5 mm high, small enough to fit inside...
Optical Detector Measures Volatility of Coal Dust
Mar 1, 1998 — Mine operators have long had to keep a close eye on the buildup of coal dust in underground mines. Too much of the combustible dust could lead to an explosion. A group of researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in...
Optical Fiber Measures Turbulence
Mar 1, 1998 — A team of physicists from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Bordeaux, France, has demonstrated a fiber optic device that measures the two-dimensional turbulence of fluids quickly and inexpensively. This development could simplify...
Process Makes Single-Crystal Diamond a Reality
Mar 1, 1998 — LMA Inc. has developed a process that grows single-crystal diamond that has performed significantly better than conventional polycrystalline diamond in tests, enabling a host of photonic applications from advanced diode lasers to UV-transmissive...
Researchers Inch Closer to X-Ray Wavelengths
Mar 1, 1998 — Scientists have long sought to explore the structure of matter at the atomic and molecular level. To achieve this, they have been working toward developing a self-amplified spontaneous emission x-ray free-electron laser. Recently, a team from the...
Researchers Work on Laser-Cooled Atomic Clock
Mar 1, 1998 — A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is set to begin work on an advanced laser-cooled cesium atomic clock slated to go aboard the international space station. The clock will employ the latest techniques for...
Scanning Probe Microscope Looks at Liquids' Surfaces
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a scanning probe microscope that can show the surfaces of liquids with horizontal resolutions of about 100 Å and vertical resolutions of about 1 Å. Dubbed scanning...
Scientists Bubble with Excitement
Mar 1, 1998 — If you've ever looked deep into a glass of champagne or beer you've probably noticed the strings of bubbles floating around in the liquid and have swallowed them without any great harm. But would you keep drinking if you knew that bubbles can start...
Spectroscopy Advance Targets Industrial Applications
Mar 1, 1998 — Industry has been slow to accept laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for chemical analysis because of the technology's inherent signal instability and because it measures relative, rather than absolute, concentrations of trace elements. However,...
Spectroscopy Identifies Tooth Decay
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers from two German institutions have used near-infrared Raman spectroscopy to identify tooth decay in a variety of stages, and in tooth-colored fillings. Traditionally, dentists have examined suspicious teeth with a dental probe, a...
Terabit Networks Become Reality
Mar 1, 1998 — A flexible, high-power, erbium-doped fiber amplifier technology, optimized planar waveguides and externally modulated lasers form the heart of a new optical network from Lucent Technologies that is capable of transmitting 3.2 Tb/s. At the core...
Three-Laser Method Goes Beyond Diamond Films
Mar 1, 1998 — Three years after unveiling an advanced method for depositing diamond thin coats, QQC Inc. has disclosed that it used the same three overlapping pulsed lasers to improve the surface of metals, ceramics and polymers. The multilaser process gained...
Ultrafast Spectroscopy Reveals the Potential of Alkanes
Mar 1, 1998 — Chemists have taken another step closer to understanding alkane activation reactions occurring at room temperature, thanks to an ultrafast spectroscopic technique that provides images at a rate of a trillionth of a second. Alkanes are compounds of...
