Fabrication Method Enables Novel Metamaterial Properties
Fabrication Method Enables Novel Metamaterial Properties

A research team led by Bo Zhen of the University of Pennsylvania has developed an approach that directly engineers atomic structures of material by stacking the two-dimensional arrays in spiral formations to tap into novel light-matter interaction. This approach enables metamaterials to overcome the current technical limitations and paves the way for next-generation laser, imaging, and quantum technologies.  Read Article

Label-Free Imaging Shows Dynamics of Intracellular Cargo Transport

Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics, in collaboration with Korea University, developed a label-free, cargo-tracing microscopy technique to address the challenges of photobleaching and the visual isolation of cellular features associated with fluorescence microscopy. The Cargo-Localization Interferometric Scattering microscope enables label-free, real-time observation of cargo trafficking in the submicron cellular environment and allows researchers to selectively monitor the dynamic movement of active cargos within living cells.  Read Article

High-Resolution Measurement of Film Thickness and Refractive Index for Silicon Photonics and Planar Waveguide Applications
High-Resolution Measurement of Film Thickness and Refractive Index for Silicon Photonics and Planar Waveguide Applications

Wed, Dec 6, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
The precise characterization of film thickness and refractive index within these structures is paramount for optimizing device performance. This webinar provides an overview of advanced measurement technologies tailored to meet the high-resolution demands of silicon photonics and planar waveguide applications. Lawrence Rooney of Bruker shares about state-of-the-art film thickness and refractive index measurement techniques, including multi-angle spectroscopic reflectometry and ellipsometry, and discusses their respective advantages, limitations, and suitability for different types of multi-layer photonic structures. He also highlights the critical importance of high-resolution film thickness and refractive index measurement techniques in the advancement of silicon photonics and planar waveguide applications. Presented by Bruker.

Custom Optics Unleashed: Rapid Prototyping and Engineering
Custom Optics Unleashed: Rapid Prototyping and Engineering

Thu, Dec 7, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
When designing an optical system, the use of catalog optics shortens lead times and can decrease bill of material (BOM) costs. However, it can be challenging to find a product that meets all the required specifications. This leads to the question: When is it appropriate to consider a custom solution? Large wavelength ranges, extreme resolution requirements, and tight packaging constraints are some of the design drivers toward custom solutions. To be able to achieve these requirements and overcome the challenge of leads times, Thorlabs has developed the processes to get custom components, designs, and assemblies to their customers quickly. In this webinar, Nate Burdick addresses custom solutions in detail to include fast track quotes, QuickTurn™ optics manufacturing, and priority assembly and testing. He covers the different avenues that can be taken to reduce lead times and ship the product to customers sooner. Presented by Thorlabs.

All Things Photonics
About 20 years ago, Hongxing Jiang and Jingyu Lin published a paper describing the microLED. Since the publishing of that seminal work, microLEDs have seen commercialization in automotive and industrial lighting applications, but for much of that time, Jiang and Lin’s envisioned application in display technology had been simmering on the backburner. Now, the technology is becoming a household name. With the holiday season approaching, consumers shopping for a new TV are noticing that the top of the line isn’t just populated with OLED models. While manufacturing challenges remain, microLEDs offer a wonderful marriage of efficiency, brightness, and sheer possibility, even beyond display and lighting applications. In this episode, Jiang and Lin discuss the path from paper to commercialization, and the road ahead and what possibilities the future holds.
