Communication is the key to effectively carrying out optical design projects while shortening design cycles and reducing manufacturing costs because it enables the customer and...
The reliance of modern society on science and technology has created a serious and growing need for a large high-technology workforce and a technically literate population.
Active-photonic-lattice distributed-feedback lasers emit a diffraction-limited surface-normal beam. These lasers can be coherently combined into arrays that could potentially ...
Wavefront sensing for adaptive optics (AO) has become an essential component in building large ground-based telescopes and telescope interferometers for 21st century astronomy...
The best way to design and test coatings for use at 193 nm relies on two approaches: one for high pulse energy and low repetition rate, and the other for low pulse energy and ...
Rofin-Sinar acquires Swedish fiberoptics firm; IDS expands portfolio with patent on medical imaging system; Report optimistic on future of long-wavelength lasers; MORE...
Regional phone companies in the United States have left fiber rollout to others, but as bandwidth demands increase, fiber to the home is gradually gaining momentum.
When a planet with an atmosphere passes in front of a star (an event known as an occultation), earthbound scientists can glean information about the planet's atmosphere by examining...
The optical output of a short-arc lamp is kept stable in the short term by good power-supply design, and in the long term by a closed-loop light-intensity control system.
Technical sessions will reveal what is ahead in the areas of semiconductor emitters, displays, nonlinear and ultrafast optics, sensing, and biological applications.
