Beyond OCT: New Interferometric Imaging Techniques in Biomedicine
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) began its commercial history in 1996 as a revolutionary technology for imaging retinas to help diagnose eye diseases, including glaucoma, macular degeneration and...
Low-Level Light Therapy Is Still Looking for — and Finding — Clinical Inroads
The field of low-level light therapy (LLLT) emerged soon after the invention of the ruby and helium-neon (HeNe) lasers in the early 1960s. Since then, the technique has progressed, proving effective...
Procedures Hinge on Nonlaser Light Sources’ Optimal Spatial Intensity Distribution

Photonics Variety Spices Up the Sciences
The British science historian Jacob Bronowski once pointed out that where Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated with nature’s “variety, its infinite adaptability, the fitness and the individuality of all its parts,” Isaac Newton, in contrast, found great pleasure in astronomy because of “its unity, its singleness, its model of a nature in which the diversified parts were mere...

Laser Scanning Predicts Soil Structure's Effect on Hydrology
The use of lasers to study soil hydrology (the movement of water through soil) may help soil scientists more accurately predict water flow. Researchers at the University of Kansas have used a multistripe laser triangulation (MLT) scanner, originally developed for engineering purposes, to quantify macropores in soil from an excavation wall in northeastern Kansas in order to determine how the pore...
Laser System Modeled for Cell Transfection
An optically induced method has been modeled for an efficient and cell-preserving transfection — the delivery of DNA or RNA into eukaryotic cells — in high-throughput screening. Selective...
Precise Wavelength Used to Gently Image Lungs of Newborns

Please Don't Squeeze the Peaches
Despite all of mankind’s technological advances, consumer methods for testing fruit ripeness — visually scanning, squeezing and smelling — remain fairly primitive. In many ways, the difference between how our hunter-gatherer ancestors identified ripe fruit in the forest or on the savannah and how we do it in the grocery story is probably more a matter of art than technique. Now,...
