FEATURES
Application-Specific Machine Vision Simplifies Aircraft Maintenance Machine vision systems, however automated, do not exist in isolation. They must augment and intelligently interact with human operators. Workflows can benefit from 3D optical vision systems. In particular, vision systems technology shows significant promise to improve aircraft inspection efficiency while providing operators with a better understanding of airframe integrity and safety. However, to...
Tunable Laser Light Sources Advance Nanophotonics Research A considerable part of contemporary photonics research that investigates the interaction of light with nanoscale objects — nanophotonics — is motivated by the commercial potential of real-world...
Optics Tools Advance in New Forms with Space Exploration With a new generation of large telescopes comes new challenges for optics. Some mirrors, for instance, must be large but flexible to perform wavefront correction and make the images as clear as...
EDITORIAL
Extreme Missions Call for Innovative Optics Large telescopes, such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and other similar technologies, are taking us into the outer reaches of the universe at hyperspeed, continually offering new clarity and insights. Now in development at the European Southern Observatory site in Chile, the ELT is designed to provide images more than 16 times sharper than those presented by the Hubble Space Telescope....

Ultrafast Measurement Technique Demonstrates Beginning of Laser Pulses Researchers have demonstrated how laser pulses emerge from noise, then collapse and oscillate before stabilizing. The discovery was made possible by real-time measurement of the laser’s...
PICTURE THIS
Superman’s Heat Vision Inspires Ocular Lasers In the classic comic-book narrative, one of Superman’s many powers was “heat vision,” an ability to store solar energy in his eyes and emit it in fiery optic blasts, which were graphically depicted as lasers. As with so much of yesteryear’s science fiction, the ability to shoot laser beams from one’s eyes has now come one step closer to reality. Using semiconducting organic polymers, a research...
EPIC INSIGHTS
The Merits of Single-Mode vs. Multimode Fiber Optics In the communications sector, short-distance connections, as required in a data center, benefit greatly from optical fibers. But what is best, single-mode or multimode communication? There has been recent progress in the application of photonics technologies in the datacom field, including discrete components (PICs, VCSELs, LEDs), modules and systems (transceivers, receivers), fibers and...
