Color-Sorting Metalenses Boost Imaging Performance
Pixel-scale metasurface lenses can be used to make imaging sensors roughly three times more sensitive than those currently in use, according to research from NTT Device Technology Labs. The sensor architecture introduced by the team could enable digital cameras that can image at higher speeds, or in conditions with less light.

Navy Tests Solid-State Laser Weapon in Gulf of Aden
The U.S. Navy has reported that the USS Portland conducted a high-energy laser weapon system demonstration on Dec. 14 in the Gulf of Aden. During the demonstration, the Solid-State Laser, Technology Maturation Laser Weapons System Demonstrator (LWSD) Mark 2 MOD 0 engaged a static surface training target. The Portland previously tested the system in May 2020 when it successfully disabled a small unmanned aerial system while operating in the Pacific Ocean.

Next-Generation Optics Software: Trends in Technology
Tue, Jan 18, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
Frank Wyrowski of LightTrans International introduces an alternative approach to optical systems modeling in this webinar: identifying and applying the generalization of ray optics inside the framework of physical optics software. He presents modeling software that results from answering this question, showcasing how physical optics modeling can be made more practical and useful for advancing technologies such as AR/MR devices. Sponsored by LightTrans International GmbH.

Si/SiN-Integrated Photonics for Lidar, Quantum, and Sensing
Wed, Jan 19, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
In this webinar, Amin Abbasi, business development manager at imec, presents imec's recent collaborative progress on using integrated photonics for emerging applications such as on-chip lidar, quantum computing, and sensing. The added value of using integrated photonics-based solutions is a higher level of integration capacity, compactness, and scalability. Presented by imec.
