81. Xenics' Line-Scan And 2D SWIR Cameras For Medical OCT Enabling High Resolution Non-Destructive Depth Analysis 10/4/2012

    Xenics‘ SWIR cameras for Optical Coherence Tomography (OTC) offer a multitude of applications such as detail-rich imaging from the deeper layers of living tissue – which is of special value and utility to ophthalmologists.

82. OSI Laser Diode's New 1550 nm High-Power (> 500mW), Pulsed Laser Diode Modules For Test & Measurement 11/16/2013

    OSI Laser Diode, Inc. (LDI), an OSI Systems Company, introduces the SCW 1532-500R high-power, pulsed laser diode module that features power higher than 500 mW and operates at 1550 nm.

83. Single Molecules Show Promise To Optically Detect Single Electrons 2/6/2019

    Optical detection of a single electron using a single molecule has never been done. Leiden physicist Michel Orrit and his team have now identified a molecule that is sensitive enough to detect an electron at a distance of hundreds of nanometers. The results are published as a cover article in ChemPhysChem.

84. Researchers Use Flat Lenses To Extend Viewing Distance For 3D Display 3/10/2022

    Researchers have demonstrated a prototype glasses-free 3D light field display system with a significantly extended viewing distance thanks to a newly developed flat lens. The system is an important step toward compact, realistic-looking 3D displays that could be used for televisions, portable electronics and table-top devices.

85. Ring Resonators Corner Light 6/17/2019

    Researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) have created the first silicon chip that can reliably constrain light to its four corners. The effect, which arises from interfering optical pathways, isn't altered by small defects during fabrication and could eventually enable the creation of robust sources of quantum light.
