FEATURES
Photoluminescence Spectroscopy Optimizes Perovskite Quantum Dots Perovskite semiconductors have attracted tremendous attention in recent years because of the rapid rise of perovskite solar cell efficiencies — from less than 10% to more than 20% in less than five years — and the potential for the materials to provide low-cost solar power. The properties that make these materials well suited as absorber layers in solar cells also make them excellent...
Innovative Design of Optical Systems Boosts Industrial Metrology Image sensor evolution has been extremely expansive since the first digital camera was created in 1975. In more recent years, increasing use of image sensors has rapidly driven camera chip evolution...
Fiber Optic Sensors Compete in Environmental Monitoring Market Modern societies are facing rising concerns about global environmental issues, including an alarming rise in pollution of our seas, waterways, land, and air. As we bear witness to widespread...
EDITORIAL
Sensing a change in metrology The rise of image-based metrological systems has helped drive the development of sensors and the optical technology that supports them, responding to the ever-increasing demand for improved resolution, sensitivity, and spectral range. The first digital camera was produced in 1975. Since then, the image sensor evolution has continued and has led to dramatic changes in signal-to-noise ratio, speed...

Prototype Could be Used to Connect Quantum Computers Physicists from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) used a mechanical oscillator to produce entangled radiation. According to the research team, this is the first time a mechanical object has been used to create entangled radiation. Beyond fundamental physics, such a device could someday be used to link sensitive quantum computers with the optical fibers that connect...

PICTURE THIS
Flipping the switch on food choice A hungry fly lands on a pile of edible goop and begins to eat. Suddenly, a green light appears in this controlled environment. What was previously just boring old slop is now deliciously sweet, and the fly eats with renewed vigor. Once the light disappears, the food returns to its original flavor. “The fly’s experience was very real. It was a virtual taste created by directly manipulating its...

Low-Light Cameras, IR Detectors Reveal Secrets of Space Night sky surveying requires that high-performance, low-light cameras be able to detect and measure the faint light signals coming from stars, comets, nebulae, and galaxies. The challenge at the camera level is that parameters must be extremely stable and operate with excellent performance over very long exposure times, sometimes even up to several hours. Not only must the sensor have...
