Tapered double-clad fiber, lens-design software, spectroscopic imaging, seeing through opaque packaging, filtering techniques for denoising images, and OCT are featured in the...

Due to its many spatiotemporally interfering lasing modes, the “entropy-creating” laser diode produces random bits at a speed on the order of 100 Tbit/s.

Deep learning is used to segment ophthalmic OCT images in order to recognize the tear meniscus of the human eye.

Having grown in capabilities over decades of development, modern optical-design software models, optimizes, and tolerances complex optical systems with ease.

An industry session at BiOS 2020 reveals where new developments are taking OCT.

Block-matching, 3D filters, nonlinear means filtering, and Shearlet transform techniques show success in denoising images.

Exploiting the infinite number of polarization states of unpolarized thermal light and their correlation properties leads to a new approach for secure data communications.

The megapixel SPAD array has max photon detection probability of 27% and a median dark-count rate of 2 counts/s.

A plasma-lens filter (STPLF) passes the highest-intensity temporal pulse portions and scatters the lower-intensity prepulse while providing spatial filtering.

Innovation and leadership will be the keys to successful short- and long-term responses to the pandemic.

An iron-based metal-organic semiconductor in thin-film form detects visible through near-IR radiation.

Emitting at the yellow sodium line, a diamond Raman laser could also enable more point-like guide stars to be generated through AO systems.

A fast camera-orientation estimation algorithm that pinpoints vanishing points could make self-driving cars safer.
