The C-RED scientific infrared (IR) camera can acquire images 3507 times/s. Covering the IR wavelength from 0.8 to 2.5 μm, it uses an electron-initiated avalanche photodiode (e-APD) sensor, which allows noise-free signal multiplications. With a pulse-tube cooler, the camera is fully autonomous, does not need cryogenics instrumentation, and can operate in extreme environmental conditions.

A nonperiodic pinhole-based photon sieve widens the display angle of a lensless digital dynamic holographic display produced by a liquid-crystal-based spatial light modulator (SLM). At top, a dynamic holographic display without the nonperiodic photon sieve has a narrow viewing angle. At bottom, a holographic display with the nonperiodic photon sieve, which diffracts light at a high angle, has a larger viewing angle. The pinhole array in the sieve is made nonperiodic to avoid creating periodic arrays of diffraction artifacts. The researchers note that the holographic objects to be displayed need to appear within the shaded regions to prevent clipping.
