Nanomechanical fiber goes beyond light transmission
SOUTHAMPTON, England – A new dual-core optical fiber that can perform the functions of signal switches, routers and buffers by applying a minute amount of mechanical pressure could significantly enhance data processing and perform sensing functions in electronic devices. The University of Southampton nanomechanical fibers were fabricated with two light-carrying cores suspended less than 1 µm apart. The cores are close enough to each other to be optically coupled. “Nanomechanical optical fibers do n...
Photonic FEL helps fingerprint drugs
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands – Combining a free-electron laser and a photonic crystal makes it easier to identify a drug than using chemical analysis. A terahertz laser can show the molecular structure of drugs because the beam it produces is at a wavelength suitable for...
poLight
Mar 1, 2013 — poLight Appoints New Board Chairman Veteran telecom executive Keith Cornell will take poLight to the next level as its new chairman of the board, the micro-optic autofocus components company said. Cornell joins poLight following the recent sale to...
Queen knights fiber laser pioneer
SOUTHAMPTON, England – Professor David N. Payne, the man behind the technology we use every day when we surf the Internet, make mobile phone calls or draw money from an ATM, now has another feather in his cap: He has been knighted in the Queen’s New Year Honours...
The rise of the boson-sampling computer
OXFORD, England, and ST. LUCIA, Australia – Despite the widespread research on quantum computing, nobody has built a machine that uses quantum mechanics to solve a computational problem faster than a classical silicon-based computer. Now scientists from universities in England and Australia...
Vision 2013 canceled, becomes biennial in 2014
STUTTGART, Germany – Vision 2013 has been canceled, and the show will move to a biennial schedule in November 2014, according to event organizer Messe Stuttgart. The show had been scheduled for September 2013 and will now take place Nov. 4-6, 2014. The decision was made...

Dec 1, 2012 — DirectPhotonics Industries GmbH, a Berlin-based provider of ultrahigh-brightness direct diode lasers for materials processing, has named ULO Optics Inc. of Los Gatos, Calif., as its representative for the US and Canada. The latter company was...
Electrons in QDs seen absorbing, emitting light
DRESDEN, Germany – The special energy states of electrons confined in quantum dots have been observed for the first time, a feat that could help exploit the unique properties of the nanoscale semiconductor materials for technological applications. Because they are...
EU invests in Romania’s nuclear photonics project
Dec 1, 2012 — The European Commission has approved nearly €180 million ($235 million) for a new laboratory in Romania that will study laser-based nuclear physics. The funding for Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) will be provided as part...
Nanotubes improve hologram projection
CAMBRIDGE, UK – Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view. Many scientists believe that carbon nanotubes will be at...
OCT images blood vessels that feed cancer
VIENNA and MUNICH – An optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique that noninvasively maps the network of tiny blood vessels in the epidermis could soon help doctors better diagnose, monitor and treat skin cancer. Scientists at Medical University Vienna (MUW) are the...
Photocurrent of single molecule measured
MUNICH – Single small molecules can be used as functional components in optoelectronic circuits, but until now, controlling and probing such molecules for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications have proved difficult. Scientists at the Technical...
Quantum optics work wins physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM – Separate but related quantum optics technologies – ions in a harmonic trap and photons in a cavity – that allow the measurement and control of individual quantum systems were recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with the...
Silicon-erbium chip achieves 170 Gb/s
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands – The integration of silicon and an erbium-doped material on a single chip will amplify light at speeds up to 170 gigabits a second, says a doctoral student at the University of Twente who demonstrated a working prototype. On optical microchips, light...
Smaller Pump Laser Packaging Announced
Dec 1, 2012 — An agreement between optical communications products suppliers Oclaro Inc. of San Jose, Calif., and 3SPGroup of Nozay, France, marks the biggest change in industry standards for small form factor pump laser packaging in 15 years, reducing the...
Spectroscopic “fingerprints” diagnose brain tumors
LANCASTER, UK – A breakthrough in brain tumor diagnosis uses infrared and Raman spectroscopy to differentiate healthy from diseased tissue based on individual biochemical-cell “fingerprints.” Currently, it is difficult for surgeons to determine where...
