    During this years virtual SPIE Photonics West exhibition (March 6–11, 2021), PicoQuant will unveil its latest multichannel event timer: The MultiHarp 160, a plug-and-play time tagger and Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) unit that is optimized for applications requiring up to 64 timing channels with an outstanding time resolution of 5 ps and ultra short dead time of less than 650 ps.

  2. MKS Instruments And Edmund Optics® Partner To Provide Richardson Gratings™ High-Precision Optical Gratings 1/28/2021

    MKS Instruments has partnered with Edmund Optics® (EO) to provide global access to their Richardson Gratings™ high-precision ruled and holographic gratings. EO is now a global distributor of Richardson Gratings products and offers a large selection of gratings in-stock and ready to ship.

  3. Machine-Learning To Predict The Performance Of Organic Solar Cells 1/28/2021

    Imagine looking for the optimal configuration to build an organic solar cell made from different polymers. How would you start? Does the active layer need to be very thick, or very thin? Does it need a large or a small amount of each polymer? Knowing how to predict the specific composition and cell design that would result in optimum performance is one of the greatest unresolved problems in materials science.

  5. A New Way To Measure Record-Setting Electron Beams 1/26/2021

    Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are figuring out new ways to accelerate electrons to record-high energies over record-short distances with a technique that uses laser pulses and exotic matter known as a plasma.

  6. Scientists Develop Novel Deep Neural Networks For Image Super-Resolution In Optical Microscopy 1/25/2021

    LI Dong's group from Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Bioland Laboratory, Guangzhou, and DAI Qionghai's group from Tsinghua University, developed the deep Fourier channel attention network (DFCAN) and its derivative that was trained with generative adversarial network (GAN) strategy, termed as DFGAN.

  7. Better Bundled: New Principle For Generating X-Rays 1/25/2021

    X-rays are mostly omnidirectional and difficult to guide. X-ray physicists at the University of Göttingen have developed a new method with which the X-rays can be emitted more precisely in one direction.

  8. Compact XYZ Piezo Stage Combines With Motorized Stages For Complex Nanopositioning Applications 1/25/2021

    A faster, higher precision variation of PI’s popular NanoCube® XYZ piezo flexure stage is available to combine with a series of miniature motorized micro-positioning stages for nano-scale motion over long travel ranges.

  9. Optimal Information About The Invisible 1/25/2021

    With laser may radiate to measure precisely where an object is located, or if it changes its position. Normally, however, you need a clear, unclouded view of this object - and this requirement is not always met.

  10. White Turns Into (Extreme-)Ultraviolet 1/25/2021

    By employing a novel phase-matching scheme in four-wave mixing, they could compress the spectral width of the initial broadband light by more than hundred times. The detailed experimental and theoretical resultshave been published in Nature Photonics.
