Lens-Free, Multicolor Holography Technique Could Enable Compact 3D Displays
Lens-Free, Multicolor Holography Technique Could Enable Compact 3D Displays
A holography technique based on computer-generated holograms (CHGs) produces complex, multicolor holographic images without any bulky optical components. The researchers encoded a multicolor image onto a 300- by 300-µm hologram in a 2D waveguide structure and demonstrated a multicolor CGH in an all-dielectric waveguide metasurface system.

All-Photonic Quantum Repeaters Could Lead to Faster, More Secure Quantum Internet
All-Photonic Quantum Repeaters Could Lead to Faster, More Secure Quantum Internet
Researchers at the University of Toronto are working to address the challenges of transmitting quantum information securely over great distances using optical fiber communication. They have developed a prototype for a key element for all-photonic quantum repeaters, called all-photonic time-reversed adaptive (TRA) Bell measurement.

Hyperspectral Imaging Could Automate, Improve Plastics Recycling
A new method using NIR hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and chemometrics could make it possible to sort between different types of plastic and between different flame retardants added to plastic — a necessity for recycling plastics more economically.

DRS Daylight Solutions - WEBINAR | Spectroscopic Reference Data for Hot Gases WEBINAR | Spectroscopic Reference Data for Hot Gases

DRS Daylight Solutions
There exists a marked lack of experimental absorption spectra for gaseous molecules at high temperatures and high pressures. Gases in these high-enthalpy thermodynamic states are present in a wide range of natural and man-made environments, such as cool stars, exoplanets, plasmas, explosions, flames, volcanoes, forest...

Photomultiplier Tubes from Brown Team Will Be the 'Eyes' of New Dark Matter Detector
Brown University researchers have assembled two arrays of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to serve as the “eyes” for the LUX-ZEPLIN (L-Z) dark matter detector, which will begin its search for dark matter particles at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, S.D., in 2020. At this former mining site, the detector will be shielded by about 1 mile of rock to limit interference.

Optical Microscopy System Simultaneously Observes and Stimulates Multiple Living Cells in 3D
A new optical microscope uses holographic techniques to stimulate multiple cells simultaneously and monitor cell activity after stimulation. The system consists of two subfunctions: 3D observation of cells and 3D stimulation of cells based on digital holography.
