Optofluidics Emerges from the Laboratory
For centuries, the components in optical systems have been made from a variety of glasses and metals. More recently, however, they have been created from plastic and semiconductor materials. In other words, optical materials in general are solid in nature. Though prominent examples of fluid materials in optical systems exist (e.g., liquid crystals, dye lasers and liquid mirror telescopes), by...
Quantum Systems Directly Probed by Photons
Microcavity systems that track and measure the quantum interactions that occur between light and matter have been devised by two research teams in California. Although cavity quantum...
Ultrafast Electron Microscopy Reveals Laser Control of Nanochannels
Scientists are interested in optoelectronics applications, such as optical memory storage, and in molecular machines that mimic biological molecules, which usually exhibit precision superior to that...
Gaining High Resolution with Nanoaperture Grid
Researchers at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena have demonstrated a subwavelength-resolution microscopy technique that uses a two-dimensional grid of tiny holes to increase resolution...
High-Brightness LEDs for Light Engines
Increasing the output performance of LED-powered projectors is within our grasp. When the first LED-powered projectors were commercialized, they generated interest because of new properties and...
Power LEDs for Machine Vision Lighting
Smart cameras, at a reduced price, have continued to increase capabilities for machine vision applications, but lighting has not kept pace. There is hope, however, if lighting designers take...
Improving the Profitability of LEDs
LEDs have proliferated as a result of increased mobile phone sales, but pricing pressure has held revenue growth at only about 8 percent over the past two years, according to a recent report, “LED...
High-Refractive-Index Encapsulants for High-Brightness LEDs

Designing with LEDs for Time Multiplexed Optical Shutter Displays
A time multiplexed optical shutter display is an optical system that uses a thin polymeric film as a light valve to locally manipulate the phenomenon of total internal reflection at each pixel. The...
A Preference for High-Power Polarizers
As laser energies have increased throughout the years, the selection of appropriate polarization components has become more limited. Until recently, if a system was running greater than about 1...
Accurate Transmission Measurements of Translucent Materials
Unlike transparent materials that transmit light with no appreciable attenuation or absorption, translucent materials often possess certain properties and physical structures that cause incident...
Thin-Film-Coating Nuances of UV Optics
Over the past decade, thin-film coating technology and designs have improved significantly, resulting in lower-loss filters and in mirrors that are more spectrally accurate and that perform better...
Which Way Out? Solar Cells That Trap Light
Although the supply of sunlight is endless, the ability to effectively harness this vast power source remains limited. Most of the photons that hit low-cost thin-film solar cells simply bounce off,...

TECH PULSE
SERS in a Capillary Could Aid Biochemical Sensing on the Lab-on-a-Chip Scale
Raman spectroscopy is useful for applications where high-specificity biological or chemical sensing is required. Unfortunately, sensitive detection using Raman-based sensors has proved more difficult, especially at the scale of lab-on-a-chip devices, because analytes passing through microchannels provide Raman signals that are very small. However, exploiting the effects of surface-enhanced Raman...
With a Pulse of Light, Focused Ultrasound Spots Small Cracks
What you can’t see can hurt you — at least indirectly. Surface defects and cracks are among the causes of material failures in cars, aircraft and buildings, and they sometimes have a hand in the...

Photodetector Operates to ~200 nm
In semiconductor manufacturing, what is small today will seem large tomorrow, which is true as much for the wavelengths required to make the chips as it is for the devices themselves. Chip makers...
Q: What Did the Scientist Say to the LED? A: Don’t Be Square
A major issue with gallium-nitride LEDs is that, although they efficiently generate short-wavelength photons, the high refractive index of GaN (n = 2.5) traps much of the light inside the...
