Ring Monitors Homebound Patients
Jun 1, 1997 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- It resembles a cross between a trinket in a gumball machine and a space-age gizmo seen on Star Trek. Despite its curious appearance, this newly developed photosensor ring performs a serious task: It monitors the pulse rate and...
Speedy Camera Finds Undersea Mines
Jun 1, 1997 — Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have found a way to detect underwater mines over vast expanses of ocean by employing a camera system developed to image nuclear tests in the 1960s.A pulsed laser mounted with a charge-coupled device in an...
Supercooling Technology for Satellites
Jun 1, 1997 — The US Air Force and NASA have developed a supercooling technology for satellites that enhances the performance of onboard infrared sensors.Launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia in April, the cryogenic heat pipe is designed to lower internal...
Tiny Images Could Win Big
Jun 1, 1997 — Nikon Inc. is conducting its 23rd Annual Nikon International Small World Competition, honoring excellence in photography through a microscope.Each participant can submit up to three 35-mm transparencies of photos taken using a light microscope....
Zinc Oxide Holds Promise as LED Material
Jun 1, 1997 — In the quest to produce efficient and lasting blue light-emitting diodes, one material has been largely overlooked -- zinc oxide.Although ZnO has a room-temperature band gap of 3.37 eV and high exciton binding energy, scientists have focused more on...
Amplifier Promises To Improve Charge-Coupled Devices
May 1, 1997 — LOS ALAMOS, N.M. -- A charge-coupled device (CCD), the component that converts light into electronic signals in scientific and commercial imaging instruments, is only as good as its amplifier. A new amplifier developed at Los Alamos National...
Colorful Laser Aims at Inspection, Displays
May 1, 1997 — LOS ALAMOS, N.M. -- Laser displays and semiconductor inspection could be the future applications for a fiber-based solid-state laser that emits in the red, orange, green or blue.The discovery was, in large part, an accident. Timothy Gosnell and Ping...
Conference Highlights Medical, Entertainment Laser Safety
May 1, 1997 — ORLANDO, Fla. -- A better understanding of the hazards of the surgical laser plume, real-time videos of retinal laser lesions in live animal's eyes and an in-depth examination of endotracheal laser accidents were among the highlights of the Third...
Cryogenic Expansion Blurs Hubble Images
May 1, 1997 — Expanding nitrogen used to cool infrared detectors inside the Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer has caused one of the instrument's cameras to go out of focus. NASA scientists detected the foul-up shortly...
Diode Lasers Are at the Heart of Cardiac Monitoring System
May 1, 1997 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Since 1970, doctors have injected patients with iced saline to measure their hearts' blood output. Periodic injections provide reliable results but do not allow doctors to constantly monitor patients.An infrared irradiating...
Don't Blink! Ultrafast Diffraction Captures Complex Phenomena
May 1, 1997 — PASADENA, Calif. -- Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have demonstrated a technique for producing light in femtosecond pulses, giving molecular chemists a peek at previously invisible chemical processes. Ahmed Zewail and his...
Frequency-Doubled Red Diode Laser Produces Ultraviolet Light Efficiently
May 1, 1997 — Japanese researchers have taken another step toward a compact ultraviolet light source that has great potential in high-density optical storage and biomedical applications. Scientists at Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.'s Development Center in...
Infrared Camera Decloaks Invisible Flames
May 1, 1997 — A shoebox-size infrared camera could be a firefighter's most effective weapon in avoiding deadly invisible flames from hydrogen or alcohol fires. Engineers at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi discovered that filters on...
Lab Wants to Slap Enemies Senseless
May 1, 1997 — LOS ALAMOS, N.M. -- Some folks think that the US military's vast stockpile of so-called antiquated weapons should be destined for the trash bin, when all they really need is a good slap. Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are developing a...
Laser Machines Microthrusters
May 1, 1997 — LOS ANGELES -- As part of a program to create a mass-producible nanosatellite, scientists at the Aerospace Corp. are developing batch material processing techniques that use UV lasers to create complicated 3-D micro- and mesoscale structures in...
Laser-Chilled Atoms Sit for Ultrafast Portrait
May 1, 1997 — Physicists from the University of Michigan recently fired 70-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser to control the random movements of atoms in a potassium-tantalite crystal. The laser was split in two beams, with one arriving at the crystal target a...
Multibeam Technique Improves Eye Surgery, Machining
May 1, 1997 — WERMELSKIRCHEN, Germany -- Many excimer laser beams are better than just one, at least for laser eye surgery and for precise laser machining, according to the scientists who developed a new excimer laser technique.Surgeons can correct many vision...
