Editorial
Good things to come: Photonics Media edition
However lazy summer may feel elsewhere, it’s an active time in New England, when schools empty out, friends and family gather more often, and everyone gets away to the beach, or the woods, or the city. New England’s comparatively short growing season also requires more attentive gardening. Summer 2021 was markedly less lazy here at Photonics Media as we cultivated a crop of new events, resources,...

LLNL Experiment Reaches Threshold of Nuclear Fusion Ignition
An experiment at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF) has triggered ignition for the first time. Ignition is the process that amplifies energy output from nuclear fusion and that could provide an avenue for clean energy, as well as provide answers to many long-held questions in physics. In the Aug. 8 experiment, which LLNL reported today, scientists...

LASER-TEC College Profile
Niagara College
Do you want the chance to build a camera that goes into outer space or gets strapped to a helicopter? Perhaps you would rather build one for the next movie blockbuster and set up the latest generation of laser projectors for a red-carpet Hollywood premier. Maybe you would prefer to work in the biomedical field, manufacturing the diagnostic equipment and lasers used to save lives. Optics and...

‘Spaghetti lines’ connect light and art
If photonics can be defined as the practical application of light, then one of the technology’s earliest applications has been to reveal what we couldn’t naturally perceive. Fire allowed us to see in the dark. The microscope showed us the cell. The telescope showed us the planets and distant shores. Spectroscopy disclosed the molecular and chemical composition of materials. But are...
