Caltech researchers create a nanophotonic optical parametric oscillator (OPO) to enable coherent light sources within photonic integrated circuits (PICs)—from visible to mid-infrared—and spinoff PINC Technologies Inc. to commercialize it.
Achieving ultra-high sensitivity in gas sensing systems relies heavily on laser wavelength and output stability. Small temperature changes can shift the laser's center wavelength directly affecting signal accuracy and detection limits. With Wavelength Electronics’ TC10 LAB temperature control instrument, researchers can maintain precise laser temperature with stability as low as 0.0009ºC.
Solid-state frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) LiDAR systems integrate scanning, modulation, and detection directly into a single device—and it’s why costs are dropping and adoption is accelerating faster than expected.
With its ability to accurately differentiate malignant from benign tissue in real time, an AI-assisted autofluorescence lifetime imaging technique is poised to help improve cancer diagnosis and treatments.
