ECO Photonics: NDIR Spectroscopy - Keeping Tabs on the Environment
Nondispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption spectroscopy detects and measures various gases by their characteristic IR absorption bands. The technique is not new, but its application to climate studies,...
EDITORIAL
You can run…
In Britain, the Lords constitution committee is concerned that surveillance and collection of personal data are “pervasive” in British society and could undermine democracy, says a 6 February 2009 report from the BBC. “There can be no justification for this gradual but incessant creep towards every detail about us being recorded and pored over by the state,” committee chairman and Tory peer...

Lasers Need Greening, Too
Each day we become more aware of our impact on the environment, which makes reducing greenhouse gases an imperative for any energy-consuming device. In science and industry, lasers play an essential role in environmental solutions. For instance, lasers from Coherent drill small holes in aircraft engine components, improving combustion processes and fuel efficiency in air travel. Fuel...
Grad Students Unsnarl Chinese Optics Tangle
European buyers are rubbing their hands over the low prices that hundreds of Chinese optics manufacturers are charging for their products. But in contrast, many end users – having learned the hard...

Forgotten, but not forlorn, an Amazon maintains her beauty through the centuries
Ash is a remarkable substance. You can use it to steady your footing on an icy path or to fertilize some of the plants in your yard. Quite unintentionally, it also has been used to preserve art. In ancient Herculaneum, ill-fated sister city of proud Pompeii, many of the citizens of the Roman empire who dwelt there were wealthy patrons of the arts. However, their taste in the finer things in...
