In this episode of Photonics Hot List:

Cancerous tumors and their cells can essentially become lost amid blood cells as they invade the body, delaying detection and hampering effective treatment. But an approach by researchers at the University of Michigan could allow early discovery in real time.

The business realm of photonics is bustling with financial awards to boost tech advances: Sivers Semiconductors was recently awarded R&D funds to aid a chip development program, and the U.S. Navy has awarded a SBIR grant to ANELLO Photonics.

A team from the University of Central Florida’s College of Optics and Photonics is now building on their groundbreaking work with advanced frequency combs with a new ultrabroadband UV frequency comb.
