Rochester Researchers Use Spectral Filter in Kerr Resonator to Create Highly Chirped Laser Pulses
Researchers have produced ultrashort, extremely high-energy (chirped) laser pulses using a spectral filter in a Kerr resonator. The pulses created in the work remained stable in low quality-factor resonators, despite large dissipation.

Commercial High-Resolution Quantum Dot SWIR Sensors and Cameras for Industrial Automation Markets Presentation: “Commercial High-Resolution Quantum Dot SWIR Sensors and Cameras for Industrial Automation Markets”
Presented by: Ethan Klem, SWIR Vision Systems

Industrial cameras capable of imaging objects in the shortwave IR (SWIR) range are attracting increasing interest for applications in food, pharmaceutical, and other industries. While InGaAs sensors gained an early foothold, imaging sensors based on quantum dots (QDs) are introducing unique advantages — such as higher resolutions, wider fields of view, and significantly broader imaging bandwidths. QD cameras are also inherently lower cost than equivalent-resolution InGaAs-based cameras, so they often translate to a lower-cost total system solution.

In his presentation, Ethan Klem introduces attendees to QD sensor technology, and discusses how it works and how it compares to InGaAs-based SWIR sensors. He also discusses key imaging applications and best practices when implementing QD cameras within a broad range of machine vision, automation, defense, and scientific imaging applications.

The inaugural Vision Spectra Conference runs July 20 - 22. Registration is free for the event, which is offered exclusively online. For more information and registration, please visit www.photonics.com/vsc2021. Continued coverage of this inaugural event will also be available on vision-spectra.com and Photonics.com leading up to the conference.
