Mars Rover’s Laser Zaps First Target
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Aug. 22, 2012 — NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity fired its laser for the first time on Mars this week, hitting a fist-sized rock with 30 pulses, each delivering more than 1 million watts of power. The achievement was just the beginning of a two-year mission that will use the laser device to help unravel mysteries of the Red Planet.
Optical Microscope Exceeds Diffraction Limit
AMSTERDAM, LONDON and BARCELONA, Spain, Aug. 22, 2012 — An optical microscope that combines electronic excitation and optical detection has broken Abbe’s diffraction limit. The nanoscale imaging method offers insight into how light and complex photonic materials interact and could lead to enhanced...
Laser’s Cousin Comes In from the Cold
TEDDINGTON, England, Aug. 21, 2012 — A new solid-state maser capable of operating at room temperature could enable more sensitive medical instruments, improved chemical sensors, and better radio telescopes, among other applications.
Method ‘Tags and Tracks’ DNA Looping
DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2012 — A “tag and track” method using fluorescent molecules not only sheds light on how DNA loops form, but also might be adapted to screen drugs for effectiveness against certain viruses that shuffle genetic material, such as HIV.
Technique Expands Range of X-ray Research
ARGONNE, Ill., Aug. 20, 2012 — A new technique takes much of the “guesswork” out of x-ray imaging by combining high-resolution and 3-D viewing, allowing the surface of materials to be viewed nondestructively for the first time. The findings expand the range of x-ray research...
Glowing Molecules Turn On, Off to Visualize Cell Activity
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Aug. 17, 2012 — Using UV light to switch fluorescent molecules on and off in aqueous environments could help scientists develop better fluorescent probes for biomedical research.
First OSA Director, Jarus Quinn, Dies at 81
DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 16, 2012 — Physicist Jarus W. Quinn, who served as the first executive director of OSA from 1969 through 1994, died Aug. 11 at home, shortly before his 82nd birthday.
BAE to Provide Army with Laser Target Locators
NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 15, 2012 — BAE Systems has received a $23.5 million US Army order for its laser target locator modules (LTLMs), its third order from the Army since 2009.
First Full-Color Image at 100,000 dpi
SINGAPORE, Aug. 14, 2012 — A method of printing metal-laced, nanometer-sized structures has created full-color images at 100,000 dots per inch, revolutionizing the way images are printed. The technology could be further developed for high-resolution reflective color displays...
Report Hails Photonics as Hope for US Economy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 2012 — A national photonics initiative would not only advance the economy in the US but also enable growth in applications of optical science and technology, according to a new report from the US National Academy of Sciences that identifies research...
Rubicon Receives $4.7M to Develop Sapphire Windows
BENSENVILLE, Ill., Aug. 14, 2012 — Rubicon Technology’s new Large-Area Net-shape Crystal Extraction (LANCE) project will develop large-area, optical-quality sapphire windows for military sensing applications. The three-year project is supported by a $4.7 million grant from the...
UTC Completes Goodrich Deal
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 14, 2012 — United Technologies Corp.’s acquisition of Goodrich Corp. is complete, strengthening UTC’s position in the commercial aerospace industry.
DARPA Seeks Ultrafast Laser Science Proposals
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 13, 2012 — DARPA is looking to fund projects to develop ultrafast laser applications including microwave generation, optical time transfer, laser-driven secondary radiation generation and attosecond science through its Pulse (Program in Ultrafast Laser Science...
For New Applications, Give Photonic Fiber a Twist
ERLANGEN, Germany, Aug. 10, 2012 — Simple longitudinal twists that convert photonic crystal fibers into filters were measured and theorized upon; the results suggest new applications in optical communications and will enable the construction of sensors, light amplifiers and lasers.
Sound Waves Focused Like A Camera Lens
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., Aug. 10, 2012 — A metamaterial capable for the first time of manipulating a variety of acoustic waves with one simple device was designed and computationally tested. The device holds promise for applications across various acoustic fields, from medical ultrasound...
Block Engineering Adds Sales Reps
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 8, 2012 — To strengthen its focus on commercial markets, the quantum cascade laser manufacturer has added SKAE Associates of Lexington, Mass., and Pembroke Instruments of San Francisco to its family of sales representatives.
Process Could Make IR Lenses up to 70 Percent Cheaper
FREIBURG, Germany, Aug. 8, 2012, — A new fabrication process that lowers the cost of infrared lenses for thermal cameras by 70 percent could make such devices more attractive for integration into cars as driver warning systems.
SiOnyx Partners with IQT on Black Silicon
BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. 8, 2012 — To accelerate its integration of black silicon image sensors in imaging systems SiOnyx Inc. entered into a strategic investment and technology development agreement with independent firm In-Q-Tel (IQT) of Arlington, Va. Terms of the agreement were...
Robotic Hand Gets Thumbs Up
SAARBRÜCKEN, Germany, Aug. 7, 2012 — The first human-sized, five-fingered robotic hand also has a brain: it has the cognitive power to learn to grasp and manipulate a range of delicate and oddly shaped objects just as humans do.
ULIS Invests €20M in New IR Sensor Facility
