Ever wonder how facial recognition has come around to be implemented in smartphones today? Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers, (abbreviated VCSEL, pronounced “vixel”) are to thank for such ...

What is a Laser Microphone? Laser microphones are any device that uses a laser or optical beam to recover audio information, largely these devices use mechanical disturbance of the laser’s beam ...

Both LiDAR and RADAR are well-established methods of detection and remote sensing. Some systems benefit from using radar while others are better served using LiDAR. In some cases, the two techniques may ...

Wind and rainfall must be closely monitored in many domains including agricultural planning, flight safety, and early warnings of hazardous weather. Wind and rain detection is also important for long-term ...

The first radar systems were developed in 1935 by the German military. The term RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging) was coined in 1940 by the U.S. navy. It was used during WWII to detect missiles, ships, ...

It is a widely touted fact that humans have yet to explore 95% of the Earth’s oceans. This is because water pressure makes deeper parts of the ocean implausible to reach. Explorers also risk loss of life ...

Autonomous vehicles are a scientific wonder that optics is turning into a reality. On top of being highly convenient, autonomy for vehicles can potentially reduce rates of collision. This article covers ...

  New research from Montana State University and the University of Montana suggests that Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) could provide conservationists at Yellowstone National Park with a critical ...
