  1. The Random Raman Laser: A New Light Source For The Microcosmos 5/4/2015

    In modern microscope imaging techniques, lasers are used as light sources because they can deliver fast pulsed and extremely high-intensity radiation to a target, allowing for rapid image acquisition.

  2. Breakthrough Chip Delivers Better Digital Pictures For Less Power 12/8/2005
    A pair of newly patented technologies may soon enable power-hungry imaging chips to use just a fraction of the energy used today and capture better images to boot—all while enabling cameras to shrink to the size of a shirt button and run for years on a single battery...
  3. DARPA Kicks Off Program To Develop Low-Earth Orbit Satellite 'Translator' 8/12/2022

    DARPA has selected 11 teams for Phase 1 of the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node program, known as Space-BACN. Space-BACN aims to create a low-cost, reconfigurable optical communications terminal that adapts to most optical intersatellite link standards, translating between diverse satellite constellations.

  4. New Lens Device Will Shrink Huge Light Waves To Pinpoints 7/16/2007
    Manipulating light waves, or electromagnetic radiation, has led to many technologies, from cameras to lasers to medical imaging machines that can see inside the human body
