Scientists from the City University of Hong Kong’s Department of Physics revolutionized calvarial fracture imaging through the use of Raman spectroscopy. By allowing these defects to be imaged, the ...

Researchers at the Cardiovascular Surgery Department at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College have developed a new method for intact cardiac tissue imaging. This method, ...

A collaborative research team from Harbin Medical University and Harbin Institute of Technology present a promising alternative to detect lymphoma in blood samples in their recently published paper. The ...

Introduction to the Diode Laser Researchers have been developing different types of coherent light sources to fit a larger span of applications since 1960. Present-day lasers vary in size, power-range, and ...

  Introduction to Fiber Optic Polarizers Fiber optics cables are a common and extremely efficient method for data transmission and light guiding applications. Complete fiber optic networks can transmit ...

Introduction While often considered a rather new technology, the concept behind fiber optics has actually been around since the 1840’s, when Swiss physicist Daniel Colladon discovered he could shine ...

Introduction to Prisms Even as early as in the 13th century, six-sided crystals of natural quartz were used to generate rainbows. In the late 1660s, people believed that color was a mixture of lightness ...

Introduction to Optical Parametric Oscillators In 1961, Peter Franken and his group at the University of Michigan were the first to use  nonlinear materials to produce optical harmonics. This method ...

How do lasers work? This blog spends much time discussing the use and the applications of lasers, but how do they work? Lasers emit a coherent light beam from a cavity. The term “laser” is actually an ...

Adaptive Optics Introduction The field of optics studies the behavior of light – a form of substance with a characteristic wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers for visible light to as ...
