Innovation Shines at 2018 SPIE Prism awards The 2018 Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation brought out the best of the best. Many companies in Europe and others from around the world were among 30 finalists for the awards that recognize the...
Continuously Variable Bandpass Filters Aid Optics and HSI Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has been used for a couple of decades in applications such as satellite imaging, air reconnaissance and other markets that are not price sensitive. Still, there is no...
Imaging UAVs Move to the Forefront of Surveillance and Reconnaissance With the U.S. and the U.K. deploying more troops overseas, and given the global increase in the frequency and lethality of terrorist attacks, it’s little surprise that versatile unmanned aerial...
Silicon-on-Insulator Substrates: The Basis of Silicon Photonics The demand for greater internet connectivity is driven by mobile device applications, new video-on-demand services and connected industrial services. And it’s growing at an average rate of 24...
EDITORIAL
UAVs Support Defense, Security Advances The modern defense and security industry is advancing as rapidly as the technology that supports it. The military is employing surveillance tools such as drones in situations where covertness is crucial. The French have plans to arm drones — something that is already in place or in the planning stages in numerous other European countries — as supporting technologies such as sensors...
