A method for mass producing polymer opals that allow novel color-tuning characteristics has been developed by researchers in the UK and Germany. What's more, the researchers believe that they have found a way to make the materials more strongly colored which could open up a range of decorative, sensing, security and photonic applications.
Since Einstein, scientists have dreamed of Laser light powered rockets streaking through space at speeds approaching the speed of light. This vision came a step closer to reality on December 21, 2006, when Dr. Young Bae of the Bae Institute successfully demonstrated the world’s first Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT). Repeated experiments since then have reconfirmed results.
The universe's earliest stars may hold clues to the nature of dark matter, the mysterious stuff that makes up most of the universe's matter but doesn't interact with light, cosmologists report.
Electro-optics companies SCHOTT North America's Fiber Optics Defense Division in Southbridge, Mass., and Clear Align in Eagleville, Pa., are joining hands to design, prototype, and produce electro-optical solutions for defense and security applications.
Oncore Power Systems, of Newport Beach, CA, began producing a line of fiber-optic network cables and cable assemblies. The assemblies can be purchased in 10-Gbit laser-optimized or standard 50-µm multi-mode, 62.5/125 multi-mode, single-mode, and mode-conditioning cables.
Rural phone cooperative GVTC Communications has installed fiber-optic lines directly to buildings in the business district of Boerne, placing the small Hill Country town among a small percentage of U.S. cities outfitted with extensive fiber optics.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a way to generate light and reduce damage in a leading candidate for next-generation microelectronics lithography. The technique could help pack more power into smaller computer chips.
The conventional model for galaxy evolution predicts that small galaxies in the early Universe evolved into the massive galaxies of today by coalescing. Nine Lego-like “building block” galaxies initially dete...
"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."
Harris Corporation, an international communications and information technology company, is showcasing a comprehensive offering of broadcast fiber optic products that enable customers to choose a fiber solution tailored to their specific application requirements. The company is displaying its OPTO+™ line, which offers innovative, cost-effective, highly reliable fiber optic solutions in a minimal amount of space — for any broadband signal transport application.
