Organic Laser Diode Suppresses Losses, Lowers Electricity Requirements
Lasing by direct electrical stimulation of an organic film is possible, according to researchers at Kyushu University, who have demonstrated a laser diode based on organic semiconductors. The researchers used used a highly efficient organic light-emitting material which has a relatively low resistance to electricity and a low amount of losses.

OSA Optical Design & Fabrication 2019
OSA Optical Design & Fabrication 2019
June 10-12, 2019 - OSA Headquarters - Washington United States
New materials and unprecedented capabilities to create and measure precise aspheric and freeform optical surfaces have created a whole new design space for imaging, while new computational tools have allowed more complex systems to be both designed and fabricated. These capabilities have extended to micro-optics, head-mounted displays, and large optical systems. The 2019 OSA Optical Design and Fabrication Congress will address these issues in detail with two related topical meetings that address optical fabrication and testing and freeform optics. The Congress will bring scientists, engineers, and designers together so they can interact and learn in both informal and formal settings.

From Lensless Cameras to Deep-Brain Microscopy: Exploring the Potential of Computational Imaging
From Lensless Cameras to Deep-Brain Microscopy: Exploring the Potential of Computational Imaging
Tue, Jun 11, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar will introduce you to the enormous potential of computational imaging for a range of industries, from manufacturing to machine vision to biophotonics. Professor Rajesh Menon and his group from the University of Utah will discuss several examples of computational imaging, including a “see-through” camera, comprised of a transparent window with an image sensor placed facing into the edge of the window; a snapshot hyperspectral imaging camera; and an approach to deep-brain imaging that utilizes only an ultrathin surgical needle to transport light in and out of a mouse brain. In all cases, imaging is essentially a form of information transfer enabling highly nonintuitive forms of imaging.
