In this episode of Photonics Hot List:
An optical coherence tomography (OCT) and artificial intelligence (AI) combo by Duke University biomedical engineers, in collaboration with a team at Nokia Bell Labs, shows promise for clinicians to monitor wounds on human skin clearer and more precise.
Around the industry: Two high-level researchers/professors have earned the 2026 Otto Schott Research Award. And an Ontario, Canada-based quantum computing hardware and software developer has become the first quantum computing publicly traded company.
Researchers from Belgium’s Ghent University and imec have designed nanoridge-based lasers they say are poised to surpass existing limitations of conventional VCSELs.
