The perfusion of a burn injury can now rapidly be determined by using a new technique developed by scientists of the University of Twente. Using the perfusion image made by a laser and an ultra fast camera, doctors will be able to determine whether a burn needs surgery.
As a step towards designing tomorrow's super-fast optical communications networks, a Duke University-led research team has demonstrated a way to transfer encoded information from a laser beam to sound waves and then back to light waves again.
Using smoke, laser light, model airplane propellers and a campus wind tunnel, a team led by Johns Hopkins University researchers is trying to solve the airflow mysteries that surround wind turbines, an increasingly popular source of “green” energy. The National Science Foundation recently awarded the team a three-year, $321,000 grant to support the project.
Physicists at the University of Rochester have combined an atom-chiller with a molecule trap, creating for the first time a device that can generate and trap huge numbers of elusive-yet-valuable ultracold polar molecules.
Detection and treatment of tumours, diseased blood vessels and other soft-tissue conditions could be significantly improved, thanks to an innovative imaging system being developed that uses both light and sound.
Novadaq(R) Technologies Inc., a developer of real-time medical imaging systems and image guided therapies for the operating room, today announced that it is the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan North American Medical Imaging Product of the Year award for its SPY(R) Intra-operative Imaging System. Novadaq company executives were recognized during Frost & Sullivan's 2007 Excellence in Healthcare Opportunities Award Banquet held December 5th, 2007 in Orlando, Florida.
Photonic Products, the UK optoelectronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist, has announced the introduction of two new, high power, infrared wavelength GaAlaS laser diodes from Opnext, Inc. The HL8337MG and the HL8338MG are ideal as light sources for industrial and medical sensor applications and as a light source for various other types of optical equipment such as distance meters, barcode scanners and high resolution CTP.
JDSU today announced that it has released the most powerful fiber-coupled diode laser solution with its next-generation L4 platform. The new telecom-grade solution leverages an innovative chip design to generate 10 watts (W) of output power. Its packaging takes up less space compared to previous designs, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to pack more diode lasers into a smaller space within their systems.
JDSU today announced the industry's smallest and lightest channel checker for DWDM networks, the JDSU OCC-56 Smart Optical Channel Checker. The OCC-56 is an innovative selective power meter for DWDM applications that provides the market with a low-cost alternative to optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs).
Healing Lasers Design Company has introduced the first multi head cold laser of its kind. While cold lasers have been used for many years all over the world to help heal soft tissue injuries and wounds because they are believed to stimulate blood flow, produce endorphin releases, be anti-inflammatory, increase enzyme production, assist in cellular healing, to increase ATP (Adenosine TriPhospate) production as well as increased lymphatic flow and to speed the bodies naturally healing. Cold laser components like their new unit have traditionally costs thousands of dollars.
