Photometer/Theodolite Analyzes F-16 Head-up Display
Jan 1, 1999 — The F-16 Flying Falcon, widely regarded as the world's most versatile military aircraft, owes some of its acclaim to the pilot's head-up display, which delivers real-time information about target location, navigation and weapons systems through virtual imagery within the pilot's line of sight. The intensity of this virtual imagery automatically adjusts to appear brighter in daylight and dimmer at night. To increase the speed, mobility and repeatability of display maintenance, the US Air Force...
Photonics Commercialization Efforts Stall at the Border
Jan 1, 1999 — As photonics manufacturers transfer their once-military technologies into global industrial and medical markets, they face a bevy of sometimes confusing -- and potentially expensive -- export restrictions. In the days of Cold War tensions, the...

Jan 1, 1999 — Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a lightweight, fully automatic biological weapons detection system that one day may find its way to the battlefield. The system, which researchers have tested mounted in an airplane, uses...
US Government Agencies Investigate Laser Company
Jan 1, 1999 — The US Securities and Exchange Commission and US Attorney's Office are investigating Semiconductor Laser International Corp. to determine whether the company has violated securities laws. On Nov. 23, Semiconductor Laser released its financial report...
Detector Helps Crash Investigation
Dec 1, 1998 — Following the Sept. 2 crash of Swissair Flight 111 just off Nova Scotia, Canadian aviation investigators immediately turned to sonar imaging systems to highlight areas that might contain crash debris. The sonar images indicated large areas of dense...
NATO Responds to Laser Incident in Balkans
Dec 1, 1998 — Two crew members on a US military helicopter sustained minor burns to the eye after an "unspecified laser device" was directed at them as they flew over the central town of Zenica, Bosnia, Oct. 24. The incident comes after earlier reports of...
Spectral Analysis Done in Real Time
Dec 1, 1998 — Researchers from Surface Optics Corp. have developed an imaging spectroradiometer that they say can perform spectral analysis at real-time video rates. The Multiband Identification and Discrimination Imaging Spectroradiometer (Midis) could be used...
US Army Tests Lidar to Detect Biological Toxins
Dec 1, 1998 — The US Army has field-tested a lidar system that could provide the first line of defense in the event of an attack from biological agents. Researchers from Fibertek Inc. in Herndon, Va., and the Army's Chemical and Biological Defense Command at...
Nd:YAG Lasers:
Nov 1, 1998 — The Nd:YAG laser crystal was developed in the 1960s, not long after the discovery of the ruby laser. Its combination of high gain, narrow linewidth, low threshold and physical properties makes it a very versatile laser material and a variety of...
Space Mirror to Light up the North
Nov 1, 1998 — In February, night may become more like day in some cities across the Northern Hemisphere, as cosmonauts aboard the space station Mir deploy a giant, 25-m reflector and direct its light Earthward. The light could be as much as 10 times brighter than...
BrainTech and UTMC to Develop Vision Recognition Board
Oct 1, 1998 — BrainTech Inc., based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and UTMC Microelectronic Systems Inc., a business unit of Hamilton Standard, have agreed to develop and manufacture a visual recognition accelerator board for use in the vision systems...
Competitors Join Forces for Airborne Laser
Oct 1, 1998 — When it comes to matters of national defense, even the fiercest competitors can put aside their differences. Heraeus Amersil Inc. of Duluth, Ga., and Corning Inc. in Corning, N.Y., manufactured a 994-lb piece of optical-quality glass that will be...
DRS Technologies Buys Raytheon Divestitures
Oct 1, 1998 — DRS Technologies Inc. recently announced an agreement to purchase portions of Raytheon's ground electro-optical systems and focal plane array businesses, which formerly were parts of Hughes Aircraft and Texas Instruments, respectively. DRS expects...
Eye-on-a-Chip Seeks to Mimic Human Vision
Oct 1, 1998 — Scientists are looking to improve on one of nature's wonders -- the human eye. Researchers at the University of Michigan are leading a multiuniversity effort to design a microchip eye that could mimic many of the natural eye's functions but also...
Lenses Boost Solar Cells' Power
Oct 1, 1998 — Two solar concentrator arrays will supply Deep Space 1's power-hungry propulsion system with more than 2 kW at the beginning of the mission. The solar concentrator arrays with refractive linear element technology allow a relatively small area of...
Power Spectra Halts Operations
Oct 1, 1998 — Citing a lack of operating capital, Power Spectra Inc. suspended operations Aug. 27. The company laid off all its employees. Located in Sunnyvale, Calif., the company designed and manufactured ground-penetrating radar systems, laser rangefinders and...

Sep 1, 1998 — In today's world, businesses and organizations are increasingly concerned with computer network security. In financial and medical institutions where personal accounts and patient records are at risk, tight security is essential. Passwords can be...
Silver Coating Maintains Reflectance
Sep 1, 1998 — Although the reflectors behind the xenon flashlamps that pump the Nd:glass amplifiers in the National Ignition Facility's 192 laser beams might seem at most a secondary concern, their reliability is important. Lawrence Livermore National...
Airborne Laser Passes Another Test
Aug 1, 1998 — The US Air Force, along with Boeing Co. of Seattle, TRW Inc. in Detroit and Lockheed Martin in Sunnyvale, Calif., has fired a multihundred-kilowatt chemical oxygen iodine laser as part of the Airborne Laser Program. The experiments occurred June 3...
Court Chooses Privacy over Technology
Aug 1, 1998 — Prosecutors have asked the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider and rehear a case in which a panel of the court recently upheld privacy over technological snooping. In an effort to establish a federal ruling on the Constitution's Fourth...
Diode Laser Helps Identify Pathogens
Aug 1, 1998 — On the battlefield, soldiers must face not only the dangers of high-technology weaponry, but also the risk of chemical and biological warfare. In the event of a biological attack, rapid identification of the organisms used is critical. Two...
