New electro-optic architecture outperforms opto-mechanics
When liquid crystals are combined with optical waveguides, unprecedented voltage control over light becomes possible, enabling new types of light-controlling devices.
Banknote verification using 3D profilometry techniques
New sensor systems are being developed to scan banknote security features such as holographic patterns, ink fluorescence, watermarks, microprinting, and intaglio patterns.
Intrinsic polymer optical fibers for large deformation strain sensors
Single-mode fibers demonstrate coherent lightwave propagation and show promise as interferometry-based sensors for large-scale strain applications.
A lifetime in optics: A video interview with Robert Edmund
As the CEO of Edmund Optics, Robert Edmund has a unique perspective on the industry. He talks about growing up in optics, how the company has changed, globalization, and his outlook for the industry.
Optically transduced MEMS/NEMS resonators: A video interview with Harold Craighead
Optical approaches provide robust and relatively non-invasive methods for excitation and detection of the motion of micro- and nanomechanical structures.
