Tests of Space Station’s Laser Downlink Successful
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2014 — The first round of testing on an earth-to-orbit laser data link was a success, according to NASA officials. In 18 tests over four months, the Optical Payload for Lasercomm Science (OPALS) system aboard the International Space Station transmitted text and video to a ground station. The laser system enabled much faster transmission than traditional radio-frequency methods. “OPALS has shown that space-to-ground laser communications transmissions are practical and

Ground-Based Telescope Observes ‘Super-Earth’ 40 Light-Years Away
TORONTO, Dec. 8, 2014 — For the first time, a 2.5-m telescope has been used to observe the transit of a “super-Earth” around its parent star. An international team of astronomers used the Nordic Optical Telescope on the island of La Palma, Spain, to perform...
International Project Tackles Fiber Solutions for Internet Bandwidth Crunch
BRUSSELS, Dec. 8, 2014 — An international academic-industrial collaboration will explore options for expanding fiber optic data capacity in densely populated areas. The €1.5 million SAFARI (Scalable And Flexible optical Architecture for Reconfigurable Infrastructure)...
UV Flashlamp System Aids Ebola Disinfection
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 5, 2014 — SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 5, 2014 — With the zap of a xenon UV flashlamp, numerous pathogens — including the Ebola virus — can be eradicated from surfaces around a room. Developed by Xenex founder Dr. Mark Stibich, a new disinfection...
Biospeckle Laser Method IDs Fruits’ Peak Ripeness
BEIRUT, Dec. 4, 2014 — There is a relatively small window of “peak edibleness” for fruits such as apples and tomatoes. Imagine being able to fit in that window at precisely the right time for an optimal harvest. That is now possible with a new laser technique....
Modified Streak Camera Captures 100B Frames Per Second
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4, 2014 — A modified streak camera is fast enough to capture the movement of a single laser pulse in real time. Streak cameras measure the intensity variation in a pulse of light with time, but in only one dimension. Researchers at Washington University gave...
