Photons can certainly be made to interact — a major breakthrough that could pave the way for applying photons in quantum computing, if not in lightsabers.
An innovative ultrathin, elastic display that comfortably fits on the skin is capable of showing an electrocardiogram’s moving waveform recorded by a breathable, on-skin electrode sensor. This integrated biomedical sensor system together with a wireless communication module is known as "skin electronics," which can send biometric data to the cloud.
To keep up with growing demand, and diversifying product requirements, LASER COMPONENTS‘ partner Holo/OR are pleased to announce a number of new developments to their production facility.
Toshiba America Information Systems’ (TAIS) Imaging Systems Division introduces the JCS-HR5U, an ultra-compact (approx. 1.75” x 1.75” x 3”), CMOS HD video camera designed especially for clinical m...

Major enhancements have been made to a novel kind of laser to increase processing speed at a lower cost.
Multiple, heavy lenses are often required to produce perfect color images, as these optical devices allow each color to focus on precisely the same plane.
As a joint development, PicoQuant and Ionovation combined time-resolved microscopy and optical tweezers in a single system. Both instruments retain their individual functionalities but can also be used together, thus ena...
Resolve Optics has supplied several high temperature Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) endoscopic viewing systems to enable inspection of the blades in a gas turbine while in operation.
Today, gas turbines are...
