UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers.
Bookham, Inc., a leading provider of optical components, modules and subsystems, today announced that its OceanBrightTM submarine pump module has achieved full qualification. The product, which is used in erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), has commenced volume shipments and is actively deployed in undersea cable systems around the world. It will be shown for the first time in Europe on the Bookham stand (number 17094) at ECOC 2007.
Unidym, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corporation, announced today that U.S. Patent No. 7,265,174 has been issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. With respect to transparent conductive films, Clemson University has exclusively licensed this patent to Unidym. Unidym is a leader in the development and manufacture of carbon nanotubes for applications in the electronics industry. Unidym, which recently merged with Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. (CNI), possesses a foundational patent portfolio that covers nearly every aspect of carbon nanotube manufacturing and processing.
"Optics + Photonics is proceeding on the right track with its emphasis on nano and solar technologies, which are immensely important to our future," said Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Charles Godfrey Binder professor of engineering science and mechanics at Pennsylvania State University and editor-in-chief of SPIE's Journal of Nanophotonics. Lakhtakia continued, "But this emphasis on the nano and solar future has its feet firmly planted in the past glories and ongoing research in optics and photonics, a foundation from which all future technologies emerge."
JDSU, a leading enabler of broadband and optical innovation, today announced the general availability of its 2495-L3 Series 808 nanometer (nm) fiber-coupled diode laser. The diode laser incorporates new chip technology to provide a reliable and less expensive laser solution for many industrial, dental and medical applications. It generates twice the power of previous offerings and provides the highest level of 808 nm brightness among single-emitter fiber coupled diode lasers available in today's marketplace.
NanoSight Limited, the nanoparticle characterisation company, announces the completion of an angel investor round that increases its shareholder base and complements previous investments by Venture Capital companies, including NESTA, Strathdon and South West Ventures. The angel investment came from members of the SWAIN and OEI Investment Networks.
If you want to exploit the ability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to absorb, fluoresce and scatter light, take the advice of a sandlot quarterback and “go long
Without silicon there would be no computer industry since most computer chips consist of this semiconductor material. The same is true for solar cells: They too are predominantly silicon-based. The monocrystals are cut in round slices approximately one millimeter thick, which experts call wafers. Their surfaces must be as smooth as glass; irregularities may only be a few nanometers wide, i.e. less than one ten thousandth of a hair. Therefore, after they have been cut out of a large silicon monocrystal, the wafers must be ground and polished.
American Elements announced today the formation of a new product group to manage the production, sales and marketing of its quantum dot nanopowder production facilities. The new division was spun off from the Nanometals™ Group and will operate under the tradename AE Quantum Dots.
When you talk optics you will have to say Jena. And when you talk about the scientific education of optical experts, the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena has a reputation acknowledged throughout the world. The university also is the only one in Germany and one of five partners from all of Europe, which, starting in the fall of 2007, will offer the masters-programme „Optics in Science and Technology“ (OPSITECH). This course of study is aimed at master students and university faculty from all over the world, who will be supported from EU-scholarships.
