Manipulating nanowires for single-mode lasers
HANGZHOU, China, and BEIJING – A single-nanowire laser has been developed that, unlike earlier ones, which operated mostly in multiple modes, operates in a controllable single mode. Researchers from Zhejiang and Peking universities used a nanowire between 50 and 75 μm in length and 200 nm in diameter to develop the breakthrough laser, which emits a wavelength of about 738 nm. To produce a nanowire that functions as a single-mode laser, the scientists excited a looped nanowire with a pulsed laser. The looped...
Mimicking photosynthesis for cheap hydrogen fuel
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Production of inexpensive hydrogen for automotive or jet fuel may one day be possible by mimicking photosynthesis, but a number of hurdles first must be overcome. Scientists at Pennsylvania State University have developed an artificial system...

USAF works to improve silicon photonics processes
ARLINGTON, Va. – The US?Air Force Office of Scientific Research announced that it will fund efforts to put silicon photonics within the grasp of scientists and startup companies. The new program will be called OpSIS, short for Optoelectronic Systems Integration in...
Zeroing in on the Elusive Green LED
TROY, N.Y., April 29, 2011 — In a critical step toward the development of LED televisions and displays, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for manufacturing green-colored LEDs with greatly enhanced light output. The team, led by...
‘Time Traveling’ Mirrors Arrive at Space Center
GREENBELT, Md., April 27, 2011 — NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has received the primary and secondary mirror engineering design units (EDUs) from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. The units currently are undergoing examination and testing, and when used on the James...
Beetle ‘Bling’ Reveals Optical Secrets
SAN PEDRO, Costa Rica, April 27, 2011 — Deep in Costa Rica’s tropical rain forests live two lustrous beetle species that are giving optics researchers new insights into the way biology can recreate the appearance of metals by means of reflected light. Scientists at the University of...
A New Twist on Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 26, 2011 — Corkscrew-like light whose rotating waves spiral more tightly than other forms of circularly polarized light can discriminate between right- and left-handed versions of chiral molecules, which can’t be superimposed on their mirror images...
Team to Mimic Camouflage Skill of Cephalopods
WOODS HOLE, Mass., April 26, 2011 — Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) are preparing to uncover the way in which cephalopods such as squids and octopi use light-sensing proteins in their skin to blend into their environment. What they find may lead to artificial...
Light Shed on Mystery of Raman Signal Enhancement
BERKELEY, Calif., April 25, 2011 — Investigations into the chemical basis of Raman signal enhancement have resulted in a path to complementary data from SERS and other Raman-based experiments. SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) capitalizes on the enhancement of a Raman...
Plasmonic Resonances Found in QDs
BERKELEY, Calif., April 25, 2011 — Until now plasmonic properties have been limited to nanostructures that feature interfaces between noble metals and dielectrics. Now researchers have discovered that plasmonic properties can also be achieved in quantum dots. "We have...
LED Efficiency Puzzle Reportedly Solved
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 21, 2011 — Nitride-based LEDs are efficient, nontoxic and long-lasting, but they are considered impractical for general lighting because of a drop in efficiency when operating at high power. Researchers at the University of California said they have now...
Polarized Microscopy Shows Protein Position
NEW YORK, April 21, 2011 — A new polarization-based technique can help deduce the orientation of specific proteins within a cell. By turning their instruments toward the nuclear pore complex — a huge cluster of proteins that serves as a gateway to a cell's nucleus...
Beam Me Up, Schrödinger: Bits of Quantum Light Teleported
CANBERRA, Australia, April 20, 2011 — Using a teleporter and a paradoxical cat, researchers have achieved the first-ever transfer of a particular complex set of quantum information from one point to another, opening the way for quantum communication networks. The cat in the...
Light Triggers Coating to Heal Itself
CLEVELAND, April 20, 2011 — A new polymer-based material that can heal itself when exposed to ultraviolet light for less than a minute has been developed by an international team of researchers. They envision that the rehealable material could be used in automotive paints,...
Organic LEDs Get Chlorine Boost
TORONTO, April 19, 2011 — A simple chlorine treatment is being used to improve OLEDs, which could make manufacturing this light display technology faster, easier and cheaper than current methods. Professor Zheng-Hong Lu of the department of materials science and...
Vibrant Colors Created in Si Nanowires
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 19, 2011 — Individual vertical silicon nanowires that shine in all colors of the spectrum have been developed that could increase the efficiency of nanoscale image sensors and give them the ability to detect color without the use of filters. “It is...
