Injectable microLEDs Turn Light On in Brain
Ultrathin, flexible optoelectronic devices — including neuron-sized LEDs — are illuminating the mysteries of the brain in optogenetics and beyond. “The systems we have developed allow the animals to move freely and to interact with one another in a natural way, but at the same time, provide full, precise control over the delivery of light into the depth of the brain,” said University of Illinois professor John A. Rogers, who worked with colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis. |

Telescope Receivers to Turn into High-Speed Cameras
Receivers on the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in the Netherlands will become high-speed cameras, expanding the instrument’s field of view by more than a factor of 30 and increasing its frame rate to 10,000 per second. The upgrade will enable astronomers to survey the sky with greater sensitivity to quick changes. |

Technique Precisely Predicts Color from White OLED
Scientists in the Netherlands and Germany took the guesswork out of white OLED color design by developing computer models of the complex, molecular-scale electronic processes involved. The result is the ability to precisely predict the color of OLEDs. |

The Measurement of High Optical Densities (up to 8 Abs) in the Near-Infrared
Agilent Technologies
The optical densities of various materials used in the manufacture of laser safety eyewear have been determined in the NIR. The lens materials were measured over wavelength ranges corresponding to the laser wavelengths for which the eyewear was designed (InGaAs, 980 nm and Nd:YAG, 1064 nm). Prior to measurement, a variety of filters of known optical density were used to validate the photometric performance of the spectrophotometer. Using the addition of filters technique, photometric range, accuracy and linearity were demonstrated up to 8 Absorbance units at 1200 nm in the near-infrared.

2013 Webinar Series - Expert Briefings
Enabling Technology for Highly Aspheric or Free-Form Optics Manufacturing
Thursday, April 25, 2013 – 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT
 Photonics Media will host Dr. Dae Wook Kim, Research Professor, Large Optics and Fabrication Testing Research Group, College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. Dr. Kim will discuss new approaches for advancing the computer-controlled optical surfacing process for manufacturing highly aspheric or free-form optics, such as the 8.4-meter-diameter Giant Magellan Telescope off-axis primary segment at the U of A. He will also present actual data demonstrating the performance of the enhanced process to build next-generation optical systems.
