A metafluid with tunable optical properties, compressibility, viscosity, and the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid? Yes, really.
An observation that came out of the OFC trade show is as a supplier, one needs to understand and adapt.
A new type of spectrometer is designed for broad spectral coverage, short acquisition times, and high spectral resolution—and it captures electronic, vibrational, and rotational excitations with a single measurement.
In this episode: a new LiDAR system boosts airborne apps, an optic-involved setup eyes concrete structures, and laser-driven fusion could lead to cleaner energy sources.
Join us May 14th at 2 p.m. ET for discussion of a new LiDAR technology in a solid-state, fully integrated system using integrated acousto-optic beam steering and frequency domain imaging.
Here are some post-show thoughts about the International Laser Technology Congress (AKL '24) held April 17-19.
Metrology (advanced manufacturing) and surveillance and navigation (defense, security, and transportation) had the most merger and acquisition activity this quarter.
What trends in cameras, software, and lighting are likely to play out in the machine vision industry over the next few years?
