Compact Lasers Recreate Conditions Inside Stars
FORT COLLINS, Colo., Jan 12, 2017 — With compact lasers that use ultra-short laser pulses irradiating arrays of aligned nanowires, scientists are recreating the extreme conditions found in stars. Previously, this was only possible with large “stadium-sized” lasers, as the...
ASU Spectrometer to Fly on NASA Asteroid Mission
TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 12, 2017 — A spectrometer developed by Arizona State University will fly onboard a NASA mission to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. The Lucy mission has been chosen under the agency's Discovery Program, a series of cost-capped exploratory missions into the...
Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Device Offers Widest Real-Time Views of the Sun
BIG BEAR, Calif., Jan. 11, 2017 — A groundbreaking new optical device has been developed to correct images of the Sun previously distorted by multiple layers of atmospheric turbulence. The device developed at the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s (NJIT) Big Bear Solar...
Further Your Photonics Knowledge in 2017
PITTSFIELD, Mass., Jan. 10, 2017 — Advances in photonics occur daily, and the impact is felt across diverse industries and professions. One way to keep up with research and development in the field is through a Photonics webinar. Information-packed presentations by researchers,...
Plasmonic Nanolaser Opens the Way for Coherent On-Chip Light Sources
ESPOO, Finland, Jan. 9, 2017 — Using “dark lattice modes” researchers at Aalto University have created a plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies. The laser works at length scales 1000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. The results...
Imaging Technique Visualizes Individual Retinal Ganglion Cells
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan 5, 2017 — A new imaging technique that modifies confocal adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) could revolutionize how eye health and disease are assessed. Using their new, non-invasive imaging technique, researchers at the University of...
