Microresonators: Configurations and Applications
Introduction Microresonators have been the topic of interest for many research groups for their unique properties, compactness, ease of fabrication, and versatility. They are essentially optical cavities ...
Deformable Mirrors and “Fake” Stars in Space Photography
Why do We Need Deformable Mirrors? Deformable mirrors are specialty mirrors that are capable of deforming their reflective surface and thus achieve wavefront correction of optical aberrations. In astronomy ...
Urban Farming: Using Technology to Revolutionize Agriculture
What is Urban Farming? Historically, farming developed in rural areas with plentiful amounts of land and resources; however, recently urban farming is on the rise. Urban farming is when cities produce ...
Silicon Photonic Circuits for Optical Interconnects and All Optical Processing
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 ...
Neural Imaging with Visible Light: Advanced Implantable Sensor
Previously, we discussed a technique for producing high resolution maps of neural activity in the brain called Optical Recording of Intrinsic Signal, or ORIS. Conventional methods for performing ORIS ...
