Caution: Cardiac imaging in progress
Apr 1, 2009 — Unless a patient has worrisome risk factors or symptoms that are suggestive of heart disease, the American Heart Association is advising against cardiac imaging tests that use radiation, according to its councils on Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention. Risks from the ionizing radiation levels used in cardiac CT and nuclear medicine scans, although low, are not fully understood, and any unnecessary or repeated exposure could be damaging in the long run. These...
Exploring the Deepest Reaches of Space from Europe
Apr 1, 2009 — The Herschel space telescope soon will be heading toward its new home at the L2 Lagrange point to capture images and spectrographic information about the universe’s earliest stars and galaxies. Artist’s rendition of the Herschel space telescope...
Laser diodes keep on pumping
SOUTHAMPTON, UK − Fibre lasers, many experts agree, have potential well beyond their current uses, including high-power applications. The established benefits of fibre lasers – such as high wall plug efficiency, good beam quality and brightness, high reliability and...
Machine Vision Empowers Robots
Apr 1, 2009 — Equipping a robot with vision dramatically enhances its capabilities, enabling it to identify different parts, to handle products randomly arranged on the conveyor and to combine product inspection with manipulation. The main robot manufacturers now...
Meeting the Need for Speed and Precision in Optical Measurement
Apr 1, 2009 — Greek historian Xenophon said, “Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” This could be the guiding principle of companies working in the field of lens testing and measurement. The performance of lenses has been increasing over recent years,...
Quantum dots and phosphor developments for white LEDs
COVENTRY, UK – Increased power, long lifetimes and high lumen efficiency make LED sources attractive for domestic lighting. By combining LEDs of different colours, or applying phosphor coatings, manufacturers produce the necessary white-light mix. For example,...
Solar Cells Go Organic
Apr 1, 2009 — An eight-member consortium that includes names such as Schott (glass), Merck (chemicals) and Varta (batteries) as well as universities and specialist start-up Konarka Technologies has started working on a joint project to develop organic solar...
ECO Photonics: How Green Is Your Laser?
Feb 1, 2009 — Global Laser Technology Solutions Ltd. is a specialist designer and manufacturer of laser diode modules. Located in South Wales, UK, close to Brecon Beacons National Park, it offers a wide range of OEM, high-performance, high-reliability laser...
ECO Photonics: NDIR Spectroscopy - Keeping Tabs on the Environment
Feb 1, 2009 — Nondispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption spectroscopy detects and measures various gases by their characteristic IR absorption bands. The technique is not new, but its application to climate studies, biofuels and geological research makes it a hot...
Forgotten, but not forlorn, an Amazon maintains her beauty through the centuries
Feb 1, 2009 — Ash is a remarkable substance. You can use it to steady your footing on an icy path or to fertilize some of the plants in your yard. Quite unintentionally, it also has been used to preserve art. In ancient Herculaneum, ill-fated sister city of...
Grad Students Unsnarl Chinese Optics Tangle
PARIS – European buyers are rubbing their hands over the low prices that hundreds of Chinese optics manufacturers are charging for their products. But in contrast, many end users – having learned the hard way – see it more akin to a minefield after...
Lasers Need Greening, Too
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands – Each day we become more aware of our impact on the environment, which makes reducing greenhouse gases an imperative for any energy-consuming device. In science and industry, lasers play an essential role in environmental solutions. For instance,...
Photonic Integration: Ready for Mass Adaptation?
Feb 1, 2009 — The idea of integrating several photonic functions – such as generating, guiding, modulating, filtering and detecting light – within single small-waveguide devices has been around for some time and continues to be an active area of research. For...
Structural Monitoring with Fibre Optics
Feb 1, 2009 — Buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams require effective maintenance to keep them working safely, so engineers fit instruments to measure stress and strain, temperature and vibration. In the past decade, several companies have pioneered fibre optic...
Tax Climate Aids French Telecom Manufacturer
NOZAY, France – Benefiting from what is considered one of the most research-friendly tax climates in Europe, telecom photonics components manufacturer 3S Photonics SA, once a spinoff of a French research laboratory, is expanding. Its success in the early ’90s drew...
The Entrepreneur and the Environment
Feb 1, 2009 — In the October/November issue of EuroPhotonics, we met four researchers-turned-entrepreneurs and explored the role that the environment played in fulfilling their goals. This time, we examine that environment and the elements that shape it. Among...
Tips & Techniques: Image processing helps get it right
Feb 1, 2009 — Commercial image-processing systems employing standard components perform a variety of inspection tasks. When testing parts, only the function of the components – camera, illumination, computer and software – must be synchronized. Difficult...
A Fibre Fix for the Big Bang Machine
GENEVA – News coverage of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) showed severe signs of overheating as its start time approached in September. Some tabloids predicted that the world would be sucked into a black hole created by the €3 billion physics supermachine,...
Awards Honour Successful Laser Applications – and Ways to Get There
DITZINGEN, Germany – Two relatively young yet prestigious awards honouring achievements in laser applications and research, the Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis and the Zukunftspreis, were awarded to winners from Germany and the US at a ceremony at the headquarters...
