OCT Tool Explores How Sound Moves Through the Ear
OCT Tool Explores How Sound Moves Through the Ear
A vibrational imaging tool based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) is providing new insight into how the ear receives and processes sound waves. OCT vibrography images the middle ear through the intact eardrum and measures the tiny vibrations within the ear that contribute to sound perception.

DLP 3D Printing Technique Fabricates Strong, Reconfigurable Origami Structures
DLP 3D Printing Technique Fabricates Strong, Reconfigurable Origami Structures
Using digital light processing (DLP), a relatively new 3D printing method, researchers have created origami structures that hold significant weight and remain durable when folded repeatedly. The structures are composed of a single polymer. They do not require assembly, making this technique a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures.

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement - AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset

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.

Imaging Method Traces 3D-Printed Objects Back to Their Source
PrinTracker is a 3D-printer identification system that can precisely trace the printed physical object to its source 3D printer based on the object’s “fingerprint.” It could provide an effective, robust, and reliable way for law enforcement agencies and businesses concerned about intellectual property to trace the origin of 3D-printed goods.

Compact Metadevices for Flat Optical Components
Compact Metadevices for Flat Optical Components
Wed, Nov 7, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will discuss inverse-design methods for creating compact metadevices and the use of additive manufacturing for making thin optical components. Professor Koray Aydin will describe his lab's platform for combining inverse electromagnetic design algorithms with additive manufacturing to fabricate millimeter-wave metadevices. Aydin will further show how this platform can be applied to the design and fabrication of electromagnetic and photonic metadevices spanning microwave to optical frequencies. This webinar is sponsored by Knight Optical.
