In this episode of Photonics Hot List:
Scientists at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China have developed a hybrid sensor system they say could revolutionize the accuracy of environmental monitoring, energy security, and even medical diagnostics.
Business news roundup: Inertia Enterprises, a laser fusion startup, and Myrias Optics, a UMass Amherst spinoff specializing in wafer-level metalenses, augmented-reality waveguides, and diffractive optics, have each gotten a funding boost.
A new holographic encryption system developed by a team at Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea—drawing on inspiration from diffractive deep neural networks and gaps in optical encryption—could ultimately strengthen things like anticounterfeiting.
