Compact Laser Detects Greenhouse Gases Using Mid-IR Source
Compact Laser Detects Greenhouse Gases Using Mid-IR Source
A system developed at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, composed of a standard laser and a photonic chip, uses a mid-infrared light source to detect greenhouse and other gases. The team took a commercially available fiber laser and combined it with a waveguide chip to reliably generate lightwaves in the MIR spectrum.

Spin Lasers Could Transfer Data Faster, Use Less Energy than Conventional Lasers
Spin Lasers Could Transfer Data Faster, Use Less Energy than Conventional Lasers
In a novel approach to data transfer, researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum used a semiconductor spin laser to enable room-temperature modulation frequencies above 200 GHz. According to the researchers, this frequency level is nearly an order of magnitude faster than the best conventional semiconductor lasers.

Adversarial Learning Techniques to Test Image Detection Systems
Adversarial Learning Techniques to Test Image Detection Systems
Engineers at Southwest Research Institute are finding and documenting vulnerabilities in machine learning algorithms that can make objects “invisible” to image detection systems that use deep learning. To mitigate the risk for compromise in automated image processing systems, the researchers developed adversarial learning patterns for testing the systems.

Quantum Dots Are Making Displays Brighter and Photomedicine Better
Quantum Dots Are Making Displays Brighter and Photomedicine Better
Tue, Apr 23, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar you will learn about the properties that make quantum dots (QDs) so desirable in displays, and the types of QD technologies that are most suitable for displays. It will cover strategies for implementing QDs in displays, challenges facing this technology, and QD-enabled displays in the future. The use of electroluminescent (EL)-QD devices in photomedicine will also be discussed. This webinar is sponsored by Radiant Vision Systems.
