A team of researchers from the Wageningen University in the Netherlands has devised a new method of imaging solids as stress is applied to them. This method, called laser speckle strain imaging, reveals ...

Researchers from the University of Illinois recently developed a new method of navigating while underwater by taking advantage of light polarization. This underwater GPS has the ability to accurately ...

Developers at Briteseed, a biotechnology company in Illinois, devised a handheld prototype that they say will make it significantly easier for surgeons to locate blood vessels during minimally invasive ...

Researchers from around the world came together to develop a low-cost smartphone confocal microscope for imaging human skin in vivo. The team’s main concern: disease diagnosis in low- and middle-income ...

Engineers at Harvard University have published their proposal for a large area lens design that addresses the high-demand of the technological age. With a nod to Moore’s Law, they sought to unify two ...

A new study presents a novel approach to imaging the human cornea. The research team at the Langevin Institute in Paris says their optical coherence tomography device is the first capable of full-field in ...

Having discussed the history and physics of AR coats, our final article discusses the standard AR coating techniques via application of thin films. The basic principles of AR coating application remain the ...

Photonics Technologies in Farming Farmers everywhere face the same daunting task: the world population is growing at an exponential rate, and food supply has to keep up. There is practical limits to a ...

Introduction Everyone knows or heard about UV or anti-reflective coatings on lenses and filters but what are they really and what distinguishes anti-reflective coatings from other types of coatings? We ...

Introduction to Adaptive Optics Anyone who has ever driven down the road on a hot day has probably noticed steam radiating off the pavement. However, if you looked closely enough, the steam was actually ...
