Impacting Our Food Supply: Good, Enough
Jun 1, 2012 — Fit to eat and plenty of it are two characteristics universally desired of the food we eat, but they often go unmet around the world. Now, a growing number of technologies rooted in photonics are ripe and ready to support demands for a safe and sufficient food supply for the world’s 7 billion inhabitants. Meeting the repast requirements of a hungry world requires both a great deal of space and adequate growing conditions. Where growing seasons are short, some specialty crops can be prod...
Rare Earths Trade Issues Move to WTO
Apr 1, 2012 — What’s a manufacturer to do? The pricing and availability of rare earths such as cerium oxide, used in optical production, have been a concern for many companies in our industry for years now, and the underlying issues remain unresolved....
Who Has the Conn?
Jan 1, 2012 — The “conn” is the area of the submarine from which the rudder is controlled and where the periscope is located. Fans of sub movies – and any submariners among our readers – know that “Who has the conn?” is never...
Lasers are sparking Poland’s photonics future
WARSAW, Poland – As far as science in Poland is concerned, Nicolaus Copernicus may forever be the center of the universe, but many luminous researchers orbit that center centuries after the great astronomer’s passing. WARSAW, Poland – Germany, the UK and...
Solar energy use is maturing, with bumps and bright spots
Sep 1, 2011 — Another summer has just about burned itself out here in our corner of the world, and our active pursuit of sunshine has turned passive as the days begin to shorten and temperatures cool. But it seems that around the world, sunshine – in the...
Quantum Dots: Applications for Artificial Atoms Expanding
Feb 23, 2011 — The use of quantum dots is nearly ubiquitous in Förster’s resonance energy transfer (FRET), but scientists are just beginning to scratch the surface on other applications for the semiconductor nanocrystals, such as in biosensors and as a way...
Managing Mushrooming Medical Imaging Metadata
Jan 19, 2011 — Imaging is used for every imaginable biomedical purpose, from cell and gene studies to disease detection and diagnosis. As the metadata from imaging modalities continues to mushroom, so do risk management issues surrounding these medical records.
Gaining chirped pulse amplification with fiber only
VILLENEUVE D’ASCQ, France – Optical parametric amplification is a common method for improving laser-based telecommunications by boosting signal strength across long lengths of fiber optics. If you chirp the signal pulses – stretching and recompressing each pulse –...
Laser Trends: Laser Companies Look to Rocket Out of the Recession
Jan 1, 2011 — Lasers are tools, no more and no less. They are used to illuminate and to burn, to mark items and to measure them. In many ways, they are as ubiquitous as knives and tape measures, and they are treated as common consumer products in many ways. Yet...
Lasers ready to flourish again in 2011
Jan 1, 2011 — If there is a recession, somebody needs to remind the laser industry. Despite a miserable two years for most industries – especially real estate, banking and automotive – most companies who make lasers saw only a fairly short and shallow...
Autonomous cars to “green” up the streets
BERLIN – In no more than 30 years, possessing a driver’s license may become passé, according to automotive engineers and computer scientists at Free University of Berlin. Instead, unmanned vehicles will come to you at the press of a smartphone...
Finding hidden gems inside everyday images
Dec 1, 2010 — From manufacturers’ production lines to cell biology labs to astronomical observatories and everywhere in between, imaging technology allows us to deeply explore the universe around us. But no matter what equipment you use or what target you...
Photonics Clusters: You get what you give
Oct 12, 2010 — By joining a regional organization of like-minded entities – and, more importantly, by participating in their activities – you will increase your standing as a technology company, according to leaders of photonics clusters around the...
Beam control system to help laser weapon protect soldiers
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator is continuing on track to become the centerpiece of the US Army’s laser-based defense capabilities. The project, which includes components from Boeing Defense, Space and Security of St. Louis and...
Laser breakthrough could soon enable 1-TB optical storage
SENDAI, Japan – Numerous research labs are looking for ways to increase the amount of information one can store on a CD-ROM or related optical disc, but the equipment needed to push past the boundaries of Blu-ray technology is exceedingly large and expensive....
Riding the waves to ready a ship for sailing
Oct 1, 2010 — If you haven’t taken your favorite old car out for a spin in several months, you might first clean it up, change the oil, check the brakes and top off the coolant to assure a pleasant ride. If you are taking the world’s last remaining...
Playing “hide and seek” with warblers – and winning
Sep 1, 2010 — Birds are creatures of habit, and they tend to have certain features in mind when seeking out places to feed or to nest. Migratory birds, such as the black-throated blue warbler, leave their Caribbean and South American homes every year for new ones...
The Future Ain’t What It Used to Be
Aug 9, 2010 — Images of tomorrow, of course, are all about the attitudes of today. Take a look at any comic, TV show or movie set in the future and you’ll see what its creators thought about the prospects of the human race. Will we manage to create a...

Aug 1, 2010 — Increasingly, the medical devices used to support good health and provide emergency and long-term care are not being designed to sit on a rack or table next to a patient’s hospital bed. Instead, they are being made small and light enough to be...
Listen hard, and you’ll hear the NEXT BIG THING coming!
Aug 1, 2010 — It’s still quite young, but the 21st century has yet to produce a truly life-changing technology. Certainly the 20th century did, with the advent of lasers and transistors and all of the tools and toys they have inspired and enabled since...
Holograms lighten the payload of unmanned aerial vehicles
ARLINGTON, Va. – US Air Force scientists have devised a way to make un-manned aerial vehicles (UAVs) better eyes in the sky, besides making them lighter and more efficient. Also known as drones or pilotless aircraft, UAVs increasingly are being used for...
The season of sun, sand . . . and nanoparticles?
Jun 7, 2010 — There is no doubt that natural, unfiltered sunlight is a primal force. It charges ions in the atmosphere, providing iridescent fireworks known as the polar lights. It warms the seas and churns the air, providing weather. It feeds plants via...
Lasers leap from the lab to the comics
