Lasers to Enhance Movies

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SWANSEA, Wales, June 12, 2007 -- Swansea University in Wales is developing new laser display technologies to enhance movie-projection quality as part of a £1.9 million (about $3.8 million) project funded by the United Kingdom's Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) Technology Programme. The technology could lead to revenues in excess of £1 billion ($2 billion) a year from cinema alone, university representatives said. The project is led by Northamptonshire, England-based Bookham Technology plc, a manufacturer of high-power laser sources; partners include the Institute of Advanced Telecommunications (IAT) at Swansea...Read full article

    digital
    Denoting the use of binary notation; i.e., the representation of data by bits (1 or 0).
    light
    Electromagnetic radiation detectable by the eye, ranging in wavelength from about 400 to 750 nm. In photonic applications light can be considered to cover the nonvisible portion of the spectrum which includes the ultraviolet and the infrared.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
