Quantum optics work wins physics Nobel
Separate but related quantum optics technologies – ions in a harmonic trap and photons in a cavity – that allow the measurement and control of individual quantum systems were recognized...
OCT images blood vessels that feed cancer
An optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer....
Silicon-erbium chip achieves 170 Gb/s
The integration of silicon and an erbium-doped material on a single chip will amplify light at speeds up to 170 gigabits a second, says a doctoral student at the University of Twente who demonstrated...
Photocurrent of single molecule measured
Single small molecules can be used as functional components in optoelectronic circuits, but until now, controlling and probing such molecules for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications...
Spectroscopic “fingerprints” diagnose brain tumors
A breakthrough in brain tumor diagnosis uses infrared and Raman spectroscopy to differentiate healthy from diseased tissue based on individual biochemical-cell “fingerprints.” Currently,...
Electrons in QDs seen absorbing, emitting light
The special energy states of electrons confined in quantum dots have been observed for the first time, a feat that could help exploit the unique properties of the nanoscale semiconductor materials...
Nanotubes improve hologram projection
Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view. Many...
EU invests in Romania’s nuclear photonics project
The European Commission has approved nearly €180 million ($235 million) for a new laboratory in Romania that will study laser-based nuclear physics. The funding for Extreme Light...
