LEDs in Microscopy: An Emerging Research Tool
LED technology is playing an increasingly important role in lighting up our lives. Over the past 50 years, the technology has expanded from simple indicators in electronic gadgets to saving our planet terawatts of power by ousting incandescent bulbs in domestic lighting. But some not-so-well-known specialist lighting applications now exist for LEDs because of their high intensity, controllability and spectral output.

Ultrafast Optics Faces Challenges Outside of Research Labs
Ultrafast optics is currently a scientifically dominated area with a lot of dynamics in both research and development. Often, complex setups make it challenging to create compact devices that can be employed for applications outside of the laboratory or in medical environments. But stepping toward commercial approaches goes hand in hand with the development of industry-proven fiber lasers, as well as multifunctional and multimodal microscopy technologies.

Space Photonics: A Platform Technology for Satellite Systems
Photonics is rapidly transforming into an enabling space technology with potential to cross-fertilize multiple markets in the space domain. Among them: navigation, remote sensing and telecommunications, as well as ground-breaking scientific and planetary exploration missions. Because of advantages related to bandwidth, mass, power consumption, beam size and immunity to electromagnetic interference, photonic subsystems are now being considered in a variety of space communications industries.

Data Transmission via Terahertz Multiplexer
A method for multiplexing data carried on terahertz waves and high-frequency radiation may enable the next generation of ultrahigh-bandwidth wireless networks. Researchers report the transmission of two real-time video signals through a terahertz multiplexer at an aggregate data rate of 50 gigabits per second.

PM Coupler Arrays
Evanescent Optics Inc.
Splice-free cascaded PM couplers can be manufactured as 1 X N and 2 X N coupler arrays with any output ratios and at wavelengths from 0.45um to 2.04um. PER is better than -24dB per coupler, with loss typically less than 0.1dB per coupler. The program "Cascade" models the output characteristics and can be downloaded from the company's website.
