In this episode of Photonics Hot List:
Armed with a blend of multispectral imaging and 3D modeling, a team from the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge University Library’s Cultural Heritage Imaging Lab is recovering and restoring lost text in a 13th century manuscript fragment featuring the tales of Merlin and King Arthur.
In business news, U.K.-based infrared sensor technology startup Phlux Technology has received additional Series A funding, while Germany-based fusion energy company Marvel Fusion is set to receive additional Series B funding, all to further the companies’ R&D initiatives.
A team from East China Normal University has discovered a modulated subharmonic route to laser chaos via a breathing soliton laser. The findings are quite significant for nonlinear science, and could ultimately improve the performance of various photonics technologies and systems.
