Ultrafast Camera Takes Trillions of Images per Second in a Single Exposure
Ultrafast Camera Takes Trillions of Images per Second in a Single Exposure
Single-shot 10-trillion-frame-per-second compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) is now possible with a new camera, called T-CUP, which passively captures dynamic events with 100-femtosecond (fs) frame intervals in a single camera exposure. According to the researchers, T-CUP has set a new record for real-time imaging speed.

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement
Displays viewed near to the eye, such as those in AR/VR devices, create immersive virtual experiences. However, as display images are magnified to fill a user’s field of view, display defects are also magnified.

Model Explores the Hallmarks of Quantum Behavior
Model Explores the Hallmarks of Quantum Behavior
Could the way we categorize nonintuitive phenomena such as quantum interference and quantum entanglement be a result of our cognitive limitations, that is, the ways in which we study the world? Not nature, but our lack of full knowledge about the system, could be causing the phenomena observed in the system to acquire the features of unexplainable exoticism.

The Laser Congress 2018
The Laser Congress 2018
November 4-8, 2018 - The Westin Boston Waterfront - Boston United States
The 2018 OSA Laser Congress will offer a comprehensive view of the latest technological advances in solid state lasers, as well as the applications of laser technologies for industrial products and markets. The congress will feature an extensive exhibition comprised of a global audience of laser leaders and a peer-reviewed technical program. It will be comprised of two topical meetings: the Advanced Solid State Lasers Conference (ASSL), which will highlight new sources, advanced technologies, components, and system design to improve the operation and application of solid state lasers; and the Laser Applications Conference (LAC), which will focus on materials processing and applications for high-power lasers.

A Thermally Tuned PIC with External Light Coupling: Design and Layout
A Thermally Tuned PIC with External Light Coupling: Design and Layout
Tue, Oct 23, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Anyone who is involved in the design of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and who uses simulation to design and optimize a circuit should join us for this webinar. The speakers will demonstrate how a diffraction grating coupler for surface coupling can be designed and optimized using a combination of Luceda Photonics IPKISS and CST Studio Suite. High-performance computation will used to speed up simulation of the ultralarge simulation domain and find the optimum performance.
