The Incremental Quest for Quantum Computing
Researchers are on the threshold of building feasible quantum computers, with a few architectures inching ahead. Will we soon see a quantum leap in their progress? For more than two decades, one of the holy grails of physics has been to build a quantum computer that can process certain types of large-scale, very difficult problems exponentially faster than classical computers. Physicists are...
Scanning Vision Continues to Improve Manufacturing Standards
The future of scanning vision systems is to make the underlying technology more accessible, robust and foolproof. From semiconductor manufacturing to the display industry, scanning vision technology...
Mid-IR Semiconductor Lasers Enable Sensors for Trace-Gas-Sensing Applications
Commercial and research QCL sources can target strong fundamental rotational-vibrational gas absorption lines in the mid-IR spectral range and pure rotational lines in the terahertz range that are...
3-D Printing Readies for Takeoff
Advances in laser sintering 3-D printing speed up production of parts with complex geometries, all while cutting costs. If it can overcome challenges including a lack of standards, training and...
Transparent Ceramics Enable Large, Durable, Multifunctional Optics
Aluminum oxynitride and magnesium aluminate spinel are mechanically strong, hard and scratch resistant; they are also chemically durable. Both exhibit broadband transmittance from near-UV to mid-IR....
EDITORIAL
Thermal Imaging for Consumers and More
SPIE held its annual Defense, Security and Sensing (DSS) event May 5-9 in Baltimore, with a new emphasis on sensing that the organization said was well received. Highlights of the 2180 technical presentations include: • Dr. Jeongsik Shin of the University of Texas at Arlington shared early results on electrohydrodynamic ink-jet printing in sensor fabrication for flexible robotic skins....
TECH PULSE
IR Method Detects Chemicals Remotely
Infrared technology could help the military to remotely and safely identify sites where nuclear weapons are being made. Researchers at Brigham Young University have developed a model that...
Inevitable Imperfection Produces Nanolaser
Nanostructures are inevitably a little bit imperfect, making it impossible thus far to develop optical chips that can control light. However, such structures are proving to be perfect for a whole new...
Superconductor LEDs Help Unravel Entanglement
Superconductivity in LEDs could generate the perplexing quantum physics phenomenon known as entanglement.
Ultrabright Nanocrystals Could Image Single Proteins
The future is bright in the world of biological imaging with the recent creation of ultrabright, ultrasmall light-emitting crystals that can image single proteins.
Nanosensors on CDs Simplify Bio Sample Study
CD players have been overshadowed by mp3 files in the entertainment world, but in the biology lab, they could be the wave of the future.
Tech Breakthrough with Nanoscale Optical Switch
Photons may someday replace electrons inside cellphones, automobiles and other products. This shift got a recent boost with the development of an ultrafast, ultrasmall optical switch.
Graphene Light Detector Spans IR Spectrum
A new light detector is the first to sense the full IR spectrum, carrying with it potential advancements in heat-vision technology.
Nanoinjection Makes Photon Detection More Efficient
Existing photon number resolving (PNR) detectors are not ideal. They require extreme cooling to ensure accuracy, and often can slow the performance progress in systems such as quantum computers.
Diffractive Catheter Enhances OCT Imaging
A new imaging catheter that enables real-time, ultrahigh-resolution OCT imaging at 800 nm to form a 3-D volumetric dataset could potentially improve image contrast via increased light scattering and...
Breaking Down Diamonds, Atom By Atom
An inadvertent breakthrough in laser technology could enhance the development of quantum computers and other diamond-based technologies.
Stimulated Emission Enhances Fluorescence Detection
Stimulated emission (SE) can now be used to detect the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of fluorescence and convert it to a coherent signal.
Quantum Droplets Form in Laser-Shot Semiconductors
The accidental discovery of a new quasiparticle that behaves like a drop of liquid could provide a better understanding of solid-state devices such as semiconductors and superconductors.

GREENLIGHT
Solar Cell by Day, Light Panel by Night
A chance discovery has brought light emission properties to solar cells. A new solar cell material developed by a team at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) not only converts light to electricity, but also emits light. The hybrid perovskite solar cell material was discovered to glow brightly and emit light when a laser is shined on it.
LIGHTER SIDE
Semitransparent PV cells go designer
Solar panels are hard to miss. Whether you see a dozen perched on the roof of a house or a few thousand laid down in rows on a solar farm, their dark metallic hues and large presence are eye-catching. For the majority of their existence, solar panels have been limited to roofs and fields to ensure clear sun exposure. Recent technological developments, however, might force you to look elsewhere....
