With the development of a single-layer, blue-emitting OLED, researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Polymer Research demonstrated that one-layer OLEDs can achieve a performance level...

Tens of millions of people around the world suffer from corneal diseases, with only a small fraction eligible for corneal transplantation. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Ottawa...

For vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), the future looks bright — because their performance is rising while their price is falling. On the horizon is also a move from near-IR to...

High-brightness LEDs have found their way into applications such as signs and displays, cell phone flash modules, automotive lighting and general illumination. Some applications, however, such as...

The digital camera represents an integration of optics, mechanics and electronics consisting of three layers (Figures 1a, b and c). The top and the middle layers are printed circuit boards (PCBs),...

Infrared system design is not, like some circuit design, a synthetic process. One cannot start by stating the problem and proceeding in an orderly fashion to a final solution. Rather, we guess a...

The common polycrystalline materials used for optical thin-film materials do not satisfy the requirements of telecommunications because of the instabilities caused by moisture absorption in their...

Glass and polymers are important materials in consumer electronics, automotive, medical device manufacturing, and many other industries. For mobile phones, advancements such as flexible and foldable...

While the concept of neuromorphic-enabled event cameras isn’t new, the last few years have seen a significant pick up in the adoption of this technology. This is due, in part, to the progress...

Researchers from around the world presented their latest work at “Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine: A Digital Conference.” Presentations focused on a range of light-based imaging and...

Pixel pitch refers to the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels on a display screen or imaging sensor. It is typically measured in millimeters and is a crucial specification in...

A microdisplay is a miniature electronic display technology that is designed to project visual information onto a small screen. Unlike traditional displays, microdisplays are typically very compact...

Area scan, in the context of imaging and cameras, refers to a method of capturing an entire two-dimensional image in a single snapshot or exposure. Unlike line scan, which captures images one line at...

A charge-injection device (CID) refers to a class of devices that manipulate and detect electrical charge within a semiconductor material. Charge-coupled devices are a specific implementation of this...

PCO-Tech Inc. introduces their newest line of sCMOS cameras - the pco.panda 4.2 and the pco.panda 4.2 back illuminated (bi) camera. Both cameras provide high quantum efficiency with low dark current...

Technology Transfer Programs are often a concerted effort to share skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing, and facilities among governments or...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we introduce you to Drake Anthony, aka styropyro. Drake, 25, has been building his own lasers since he was 12 years old. He's got quite the following on his...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we take you to the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at MIT run by Dr. Dirk Englund. Dr. Englund's group, the Quantum Photonics Group, is made up of postdocs and...

A digital camera is a device that captures and records still images or video in digital format. Unlike traditional film cameras, which use photographic film to capture and store images, digital...
