University of Bristol spinout QLM Technology has developed a quantum-enabled gas imaging camera. The device, called QLM-1, will help reduce environmentally damaging methane leaks from the oil and gas...

Although highly regulated, the chemical pre-treatment processes used to prepare U.S. Department of Defense materials for protective coatings involve hazardous compounds that can harm one’s...

A high-flux and compact cold-atom source with low power consumption developed by an Oxford University-led research group is poised to enable devices such as space-based atomic clocks, improving...

In general, there are three common approaches to reducing mechanical excitation of photonic systems. The first is identifying the sources of vibration and implementing ways to eliminate or reduce...

An optical coating engineer is frequently confronted with a difficult specification for a coating. Often the difficulty in the specification results from the particular form of the optical system. If...

Designing devices that incorporate ultrathin films is an important means of enhancing yields. However, characterizing ultrathin films provides a challenge for mainstream metrology tools such as...

Ultraprecision machining can be defined in general terms as the removal of material from a substrate utilizing a machine tool that operates at a resolution of 10 nm (0.4 μin.) or less. The...

In this webinar you will learn about a new technique, called sonoillumination, which uses ultrasound in conjunction with a clinical laser for procedures such as the removal of birthmarks and tattoos....
