FEATURES
Scientific Lasers Deliver Ease of Use, Greater Reliability Ultrafast lasers are the dominant laser source for scientific applications. Two key technical trends are emerging that support several diverse applications. The first development is the emergence of ytterbium fiber (Yb-fiber) as a reliable alternative gain medium to the traditionally employed titanium:sapphire (Ti:sapphire). For the high-repetition-rate oscillators needed in multiphoton...
Terahertz 3D Spectroscopy Boosts Imaging Applications Terahertz imaging is a promising technique for noncontact, noninvasive, nonionizing 3D spectroscopy. Terahertz rays, located between microwave and IR on the electromagnetic spectrum from...
Augmented Reality Takes Shape The world of virtual reality (VR) has made a splash in the consumer market in recent years with its fully occluded VR headsets, such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, that transport gamers to a...

Augmented Reality Links Virtual, Real Worlds Picture it: You’re on a vacation and getting ready to explore local attractions. Brochures in the hotel lobby offer information about the best sights to visit, but they can be cumbersome to carry. Well, what if your smartphone could replace those pamphlets with apps that offer recognition of landmarks and even directions for how to find them? It’s possible, thanks to augmented reality...

Europe Drives Fiber Sensor Development for Industrial Apps Optical fibers have been mostly employed in the telecommunications field to transmit information from one place to another using light. The first inventions involving optical fibers took place in the 1960s at the University of Southampton in England. Since then, the technology has considerably evolved — optical fibers developed by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, for example,...
