Exail is providing advanced optical technologies for SOLiS—a space laser communications demonstrator launched by the French government—to demonstrate the viability of an optical communications service that relies on geostationary satellites and ground stations.
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.
Perovskites are pushing solar cell efficiencies beyond the limits of silicon alone. By re-engineering perovskite’s chemistry and triple-junction cell design, researchers set a new efficiency record—and also showed there’s room for further improvements.
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.
