Color of Single Photons Changed
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 18, 2010 — The conversion of near-infrared 1300-nm-wavelength single photons emitted from a true quantum source — a semiconductor quantum dot — to a near-visible wavelength of 710 nm was demonstrated for the first time. The ability to change the color of...
A New Benchmark in Photon Counting
OLCHING, Germany, Oct. 14, 2010 — Laser Components formed a strategic partnership with PicoQuant GmbH to produce photon counting modules with the highest quantum efficiency and record-breaking dark count rates, said the company. The new Count photon counting modules achieve an...
Light on Chip Slowed to a Crawl
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 9, 2010 — A tiny optical device built into a silicon chip has achieved the slowest light propagation on a chip to date, reducing the speed of light by a factor of 1200. Each of the 32 units fabricated on this four-inch silicon wafer is an integrated...
Sound helps make a better optical clock
BRAUNSCHWEIG,Germany – Optical fibers are commonly used to transmit information and data via modulated light pulses. Now, however, three researchers at Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), working with optical frequencies rather than voice or data, are seeking to...
Ocean Optics LIBS IDs Fake Antiques
DUNEDIN, Fla., Aug. 25, 2010 — To separate authentic ceramic antiques from fakes, nationally recognized antiques appraiser Guan Haisen has employed an Ocean Optics LIBS system, with QE65000 spectrometer, to help him identify artificially aged ceramics and artifacts. Using...
Si Data Connection with Integrated Lasers
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28, 2010 — Intel Corp. announced an important advance in the quest to use light beams instead of electrons as data carriers in computers: development of a research prototype representing the first silicon-based optical data connection with integrated lasers....
Holding onto a Pinch of Light
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 16, 2010 — A new tool developed by Tel Aviv University, Holographic Optical Tweezers (HOTs) use holographic technology to manipulate up to 300 nanoparticles at a time, such as beads of glass or polymer, that are too small and delicate to be handled with...
Fibers That Detect, Produce Sound
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 15, 2010 — For centuries, "man-made fibers" meant the raw stuff of clothes and ropes; in the information age, it’s come to mean the filaments of glass that carry data in communications networks. But to Yoel Fink, an associate professor of materials...
