Brain-Mapping Device Aids PTSD Study
ARLINGTON, Texas, June 20, 2014 — Post-traumatic stress disorder can greatly hinder sufferers’ memory and learning abilities. Further study of the disorder and its impacts using near-infrared spectroscopy could bring new and potentially more effective treatments. A portable...
The Better to See You With
Apr 7, 2014 — Advances in manufacturing and materials will help the military spot targets faster – and from farther away. For the military, the name of the game is to see first and farthest, which makes optics vital. The length of an optical path can set...
Ultrabright Nanocrystals Could Image Single Proteins
BERKELEY, Calif., March 19, 2014 — The future is bright in the world of biological imaging with the recent creation of ultrabright, ultrasmall light-emitting crystals that can image single proteins.
Superconducting Detector Measures Single Photons
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2013 — A new superconducting detector array that can measure the energy of individual photons is seen as a likely successor to CCDs and other semiconductor-based detectors for the visible and near-infrared regions, which are starting to hit performance...
Something in the air
Jul 1, 2012 — The recent article on airglow (“The Night Glows Brighter in the Near-IR,” April 2012) contains misleading statements and a generally sloppy treatment of radiometric units of measure. Some behind-the-scenes math by the authors and more...
The Night Glows Brighter in the Near-IR
Apr 1, 2012 — The night sky is never absolutely dark, even after removing the influence of starlight and diffused sunlight from the other side of the globe. Spectral irradiance, caused by airglow, is several times stronger in the 900- to 1700-nm band than in the...
High Laser-Induced-Damage Threshold Optics
Mar 1, 2011 — Despite nearly 50 years of study, laser damage continues to be a topic of some confusion for both optics manufacturers and consumers. Laser optics purchasers need to know the primary causes of damage and the steps that fabricators typically take to...
Near-Infrared Bandpass Filters for Astronomy
Aug 1, 2010 — Near-infrared filters operate within a wavelength range of 800 to 5000 nm and typically consist of multiple thin-film interference layers of silicon/ silicon compounds deposited on a suitable optical substrate. They can be manufactured in narrow-...
Staying on the edge in a soft market
Jan 4, 2010 — The economic downturn that has plagued the globe since 2007 has not affected all photonics companies badly, but those that are treading water best – or even thriving – are doing so...
Finding peak performance under the cover of darkness
Nov 1, 2009 — Whether in a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft, or whether hunting for insurgents in Afghanistan or lost children on a mountain slope near Denver, pilots of all stripes are putting in more hours than ever after the sun sets. Night-vision goggles, or...
For Lidar, Many Happy Returns
Nov 1, 2009 — For light detection and ranging (lidar) scanners, the returns are in – and they’re good. Innovations have made lidar scanners, which emit laser pulses and capture the returning light to determine distance to an object or characteristics of air,...
