Light sources based on vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology enable optical coherence tomography (OCT) to achieve long imaging range, high speed, and flexibility...
Biophotonics was a major theme at this 40th anniversary edition of the biennial mega-event LASER World of Photonics trade fair and World of Photonics Congress (May 13-16, 2013...
Although the United States currently leads the world in biophotonics, other nations are making significant investments -- and as a result, the country has lost substantial global...
By shining light of various colors through a nanoscale synthetic-polymer sphere, researchers have fashioned volcano-shaped nanostructures able to store precise amounts of other...
A newly developed class of photo-switchable molecules that enable remote, noninvasive control of protein-protein interactions will serve as a prototype to develop photo-switchable...
For her PhD thesis, Aránzazu Jurío-Munárriz, a graduate student in computer engineering at the NUP/UPNA-Public University of Navarre in Spain, has improved two of the algorithms...
Genetic mutations are a major cause of hearing loss in developed countries: At least half of all infants who become deaf can trace their conditions to mutations, as can many people...
An iPhone app and an optics-rich smartphone cradle are enabling sensitive yet inexpensive biosensing of toxins, proteins, bacteria, viruses, and other molecules.
Research in optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology has recently focused on development of ultrafast (>100 kHz A-line rate) Fourier domain OCT (FD-OCT).
In a Market Focus session titled Medical and Aesthetic Lasers - the Future of Light-Tissue Interaction, presentations at OSA's Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) 2013...
