Photonics Spectra Spectroscopy Conference to Highlight Emerging Technologies, Consumer Applications, and Chemometrics Join Photonics Media online April 12-13 for the Photonics Spectra Spectroscopy (PSS) Conference, a virtual event exploring new and evolving trends in spectroscopic tools and techniques. The conference will feature two keynotes and nearly 20 presentations organized into four sessions highlighting Emerging Technologies, Data Analysis, Biospectroscopy, and Embedded Spectroscopy.
Photon-Counting CMOS Sensors Extend Frontiers in Scientific Imaging While CMOS imagers have evolved significantly since the 1960s, photon-counting sensitivity has still required the use of specialized sensors that often come with detrimental drawbacks. This changed...
Advancements in Diode Lasers Fuel Automotive Lidar Lidar for autonomous vehicles debuted in 2007 as an enabling sensor technology for robotaxis and robotruck development. Within the last five years, however, the technology has trended toward broader...
How Optical Networks Are Enabling the 5G Advantage The fifth generation of broadband cellular network technology (5G) offers a more than tenfold increase in speed compared to 4G. It handles a wider variety of devices, provides greater reliability,...
Advanced Imaging Rises to the Task of Detecting Space Debris The space industry has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Once the domain of big-budget government projects, the field has increasingly seen the entry of more and more commercial...
Editorial
The value of asking Are certain scientific discoveries inevitable? Had Einstein not developed the general theory of relativity first, would some other physicist have eventually laid claim to it? Had Alexander Fleming not observed the moldy petri dish, would someone else have pioneered penicillin? Such questions are compelling to speculate about. But a more practical line of inquiry might ask whether certain...

Can lidar enable a goldfish to drive? Despite Betteridge’s law of headlines — an adage that states that any headline that asks a question can be answered by the word “no” — it turns out that lidar can, in fact, enable a goldfish to drive. Courtesy of iStock.com/Aleutie. An experiment conducted by researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev sought to determine whether a goldfish’s navigational...
