UV-DOAS Spectroscopy For Atmospheric Monitoring
Ultraviolet Doppler Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-DOAS) is a long distance measurement technique used for detecting chemicals in the atmosphere. This technology is important in our modern world where ...
Superconductor Spectroscopy Devices and Single Photon Detectors
Introduction to Superconductors (Traditional) Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes when he found Mercury to have an abrupt drop in electrical resistance at a temperature ...
Nanophotonics: Big Developments In a Small World
An Introduction to Nanophotonics: Something Big from Something Small In recent years there has been a lot of work with nanophotonics in optical physics and engineering. This is a part of the rising ...
Photoacoustic Elastography: Using Light & Sound for Tissue Diagnosis
Introduction to Elastography Elastography is a type of imaging modality that provides information on the elastic properties and stiffness of the tissue being reviewed based on spatial distribution. It is ...
Nitrogen Vacancy Centers: Robust Magnetic Field Sensors
Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond are an exciting platform to build very accurate sensors. These vacancy centers provide very precise energy levels that can be influenced and controlled by various ...
Perovskite Quantum Dots
Quantum dots, sometimes referred to as semiconductor nanocrystals, are an exciting emerging technology that we have covered previously on our blog. Quantum dots are artificial nanoparticles (on the order ...
Beam Profiling Systems and Their Applications
Beam profiling systems are an essential technology to ensure the quality and uniformity of lasers. Beam profilers measure the optical spatial intensity of an input laser beam, providing information about ...
Shape Reconstruction Methods in Continuum Robot
In recent medical research fields, continuum robot is becoming a prevalent topic because it can traverse confined spaces and manipulate objects in complex environments due to its compliant structure. With ...
Laser Tissue Interactions: Biological Factors to Consider for Dermatology
In 1963, Leon Goldman became the first person to report using lasers in dermatology. Goldman reported the effects of Ruby laser in the selective destruction of cutaneous pigmented structures, like black ...
Tissue Welding Using Lasers for Sutureless Surgical Procedures
Tissue welding is a relatively new procedure that aims to seal wounds and openings in a surgery using laser. The first tissue welding application using lasers was done in 1964 to join small blood vessels ...
