EDITORIAL
Fountain of Youth
It wasn't that long ago when the biggest downside to laser facial rejuvenation was the significant recovery period after the procedure. In exchange for looking years younger, patients often had to brace for up to a month of uncomfortable recuperation. Cosmetic laser companies are now pushing the bounds of fractionated technology to further reduce costs and downtime, by introducing systems with...

Big Cash Prizes Needed to Boost Biophotonics Commercialization
The successful use of photonics in biomedical science is not being translated into its implementation in retail medicine. This unfortunate trend is seen in a BioPhotonics article by Gary Boas, who asked, “UV-VIS Spectroscopy in the Clinic — What’s Stopping It?” In this November 2014 article, Boas examined the details of a particular area of application — namely, UV...

Lasers Keep Crows Out Of The Corn
From mid-July through October, just as New England sweet corn crops ripen, flocks of blackbirds, starlings, grackles and crows swarm and strip the fields, inflicting up to $800 in lost product per acre. And deterrent methods were not ideal. That is why the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management asked Rebecca Brown, a professor of plant sciences at the University of Rhode Island in...
IMAGING SPECIAL SECTION
Laser Light Endoscopy Aids Early Cancer Detection
While halogen, xenon or LED light sources may be sufficient for larger endoscopes, the demand for more extensive imaging through the body is driving endoscopes to smaller sizes. As cameras continue to reduce in size, the diameter of the illumination fiber must also be reduced. In this case, traditional light sources are inferior in their ability to output light through small fibers, while laser...
