Out In The Neon Light: Quantum Sensing's New Dawn For Photonics

Recent quantum breakthroughs overcome decoherence and enable mass production, driving photonics innovation across medical and environmental applications.

TOP INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Understand Noise At The Sub-Nanometer Scale

Every nanopositioner has a small amount of uncertainty in its position that contributes noise to a measurement. It's important to understand what position noise is and where it comes from in order to know just how accurate the nanopositioner is.

Angle Of Incidence (AOI) And Polarization

The relationship between angle of incidence (AOI) and polarization is explained, with a focus on how AOI affects the transmission and reflection of light.

Specifying Lenses For Megapixel Cameras

To understand how lenses affect the performance of imaging systems, it is necessary to grasp the physics behind diffraction, lens aperture, focal length, and the wavelength of light. Other design limitations also restrict the optical capabilities of a lens, even before manufac­turing tolerances are considered.
