When optical beams comprising photons tend to travel via fibers, they lead to vibrations that produce acoustic waves, consisting of phonons.
Global semiconductor developer BluGlass Limited has secured initial purchase orders of its 405 nm and 420 nm 250 mW single-mode gallium nitride (GaN) lasers from two customers.
Teledyne FLIR is pleased to announce its all new Ladybug6 360-degree camera is now in full production.
A recent study led by Javier Abajo from the Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques (ICFO) and Qing Dai from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) demonstrated a gate-tunable nanoscale negative refraction of polaritons in the mid-infrared range through a van der Waals heterostructure of graphene and molybdenum trioxide.
ABB has launched a new wireless solution enabling customers to install, monitor and maintain their entire emergency lighting installation using a fast and intuitive mobile application.
It turns out that butterflies are just as striking in thermal as they are in the visible light spectrum. According to a study published in Nature by researchers from Columbia Engineering and Harvard University, it's possible to examine the thermodynamic properties of butterfly wings and the importance of radiative cooling in keeping these delicate structures fluttering.
In daily human life, lithium-ion batteries have shown great transformation. Nearly everyone has a smartphone and more electric vehicles could be spotted on the roads, and they keep power generators going in times of emergencies.
Recently, a team of researchers from NC State has demonstrated the potential to improve the performance of Li-ion batteries by using a powerful laser to deliver very short pulses onto Li-ion battery materials to induce tiny defects.

A sensational prospect in advanced optics is to manipulate “patterns of light”, how the light appears in its numerous degrees of freedom, commonly termed structured light.
Considerable progress for drug discovery, industrial processes, and optoelectronics could be yielded by engineering novel molecules and materials with specific properties.
Since there is a high increase in the development of new THz sources and detectors, the terahertz (THz) gap, a frequency band lying between the infrared and microwave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum where traditional technologies are ineffective in producing and detecting radiation, is being closed quickly.
Under the guidance of Professor Kaifeng Wu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), a research team has stated that the efficient near-infrared photon upconversion sensitized by lead-free semiconductor nanocrystals and illustrated its novel application in solar synthesis.
Less than 15% of the 92 million tons of clothing and other textiles disposed of yearly are recycled—in part because they are so hard to sort.
LMI Technologies (LMI), a leading developer of 3D scanning and inspection solutions, is pleased to announce the official release of its new Gocator® 2540/50 high-speed wide field of view 3D laser line profile sensors.
