LASER WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES







LASER NEWS
-
The history of photonics began in 1960 with the invention of the laser. Two years later the first laser echoes reflected off the moon. Thus began the field of space photonics, enhancing on-board data handling, high-resolution measurement systems, processing units, and more.
-
Novel uses of lasers continue to expand as researchers discover new ways to harness their properties and develop innovative applications across various industries.
-
The Advancing Photonics Technologies collaboration is one of more than 40 teams across the nation selected to receive one of the first-ever NSF Engines Development Awards, which provide up to two years of funding toward the planning of a multistate initiative to create economic, societal, and technological opportunities for their regions.
-
Directed energy weapons are at a crossroads of sorts. Will the much-desired technology survive the valley of death?
-
Lasers are used in many ways across nearly every industry. Here, we take a look at how they are being used by the military and in LEO, as well as future use in medical electronics.
-
Over the past 68 years, SPIE has been connecting, engaging, and serving its global constituency of more than 258,000 people from 184 countries. A big part of meeting that mission is accomplished by hosting conferences and exhibitions and, at the end of the month, SPIE will be hosting a big one: The Defense + Commercial Sensing conference and exhibition.
-
Bright Ideas presents the most captivating news and innovations in optics and photonics. This week, we look at a SPIE Summit, combining MEMS with photonics in a single microchip, a demo of a new laser weapon system, and more.
