Electro-optic modulators are increasingly becoming a vital component of optical processing systems. We have previously written about electro-optics generally, the different kinds of electro-optical ...

Cardiovascular Disease and Photoacoustic Imaging Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death in the world, accounting for 31% of all deaths. This class of diseases includes heart ...

Optical fibers are a convenient instrument for robust light transfer. Their low losses have enabled their wide use in long distance telecommunication systems while service providers like AT&T, Verizon ...

Introduction to the Photoacoustic Effect Alexander Graham Bell, a prolific inventor most celebrated for inventing the telephone, first observed the photoacoustic effect in 1880. Bell was experimenting with ...

Visual SLAM is now a trending approach in autonomous mobile robot development. Mobile robot is the one capable of transporting itself from place to place. For example, the first mobile robot emerged as a ...

Compound eyes provide insects with the ability to quickly react to danger. These eyes posses a much wider field-of-view, higher light sensitivity, and superior sensitivity to motion when compared to the ...

A research team from the Military Technical College and from Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt have developed a fluorescence hyper-spectral imaging system which can be employed for diagnosis and detection ...

The Very Large Telescope – located in northern Chile- is one of the world’s most advanced optical instruments.  The VLT consists of four unit telescopes capable of high-resolution spectroscopy and ...

Silicon photonics is the technology of using optical processing components made of silicon itself, rather than other materials. Electronic interconnects with copper contribute to high power consumption and ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have been experimenting with laser sources called optical frequency combs to find a new way of studying molecular structures. Frequency combs get their ...
