Lidar Companies Velodyne, Ouster Agree to Merge
Digital lidar company Ouster and lidar sensors and solutions developer Velodyne Lidar have entered into a definitive agreement to merge in an all-stock transaction. The combination reportedly brings together roughly $400 million in market value. Both companies will continue to operate their businesses independently until the close of the merger transactions, which are expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.

Single-Laser and Optical-Chip Pair Sets Data Transmission Record
Single-Laser and Optical-Chip Pair Sets Data Transmission Record
An international team has reportedly set a data transmission record using just a single laser and optical chip to transmit more than 1 Pbit/s. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, transmitted data at 1.8 Pbit/s, corresponding to double the total global internet traffic.

Laser-Matter Interaction Improves Nanostructure Fabrication Process
Using femtosecond laser direct writing, researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University created silica nanochannels with a diameter of 30 nm, smaller than reported in any previous study, and with an aspect ratio of over 20. The technique uses extremely short and energetic laser pulses with high precision to create desired nanostructures, which include nanoholes, nanopores, and nanoslits.

Ray Optics Simulations Ray Optics Simulations
Wed, Nov 16, 2022 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
Ping Chu, Ph.D., shares about optical ray tracing using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and presents a live demo of the software. This demo shows how to create a fully parameterized geometry of a typical lens system, trace rays through the system, and postprocess the results. She also discusses more specialized ray features, such as the analysis of ray intensity and polarization. Finally, she explains how the Ray Optics Module, an add-on product to COMSOL Multiphysics®, can be combined with structural and thermal simulation for highly accurate structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis. Presented by COMSOL.
