The research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, imec, has announced that it will demonstrate at this week’s SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco its second generation high-speed SNAPSCAN hyperspectral imaging camera. The new hyperspectral camera uses an ultrasonic speed piezo motor stage and innovative software to enable the acquisition of high resolution hyperspectral images less than 200ms.

Researchers have, for the first time, integrated two technologies widely used in applications such as optical communications, bio-imaging and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems that scan the surroundings of self-driving cars and trucks.In the collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Harvard University, researchers successfully crafted a metasurface-based lens atop a MEMS platform.

A research institute at CEA Tech,Leti, has invented a lens-free microscope technology that provides point-of-care diagnosis for spinal meningitis. Outlined in a paper presented at Photonics West, the new technology provides immediate results and eliminates errors in counting white blood cells (leukocytes) in cerebrospinal fluid, which is required to diagnose the infection.

High-speed automated systems from PI can speed up wafer-level testing and assembly tasks for SiP and Optics applications.A new catalogue on fast automated alignment solutions for silicon photonics and optical components will be available from PI, just in time for this year’s SPIE Photonics West conference.

At this year's Photonics West show, taking place 30th January to 1st February in SanFrancisco, LASER COMPONENTS presents QuickSwitch - a hybrid 905nm high-power PLD generating what the company claims to be the world's shortest pulse width of 2.5ns typical at a pulse frequency of up to 200kHz. It can be equipped with various storage capacitors, depending on which, it achieves an optical peak power up to 89W. The pulse width of the optical output d...

A forward-looking call to action for the microelectronics industry has been issued by CEA-Leti’s chief scientist to create a radically new, digital-communication architecture for the Internet of Things in which “a great deal of analytics processing occurs at the edge and at the end devices instead of in the Cloud.”

If photonics is to meet the needs of a new generation of applications, problems will need to be addressed through better design and modelling. The EU-funded ADOPSYS project approached this challenge as much with a skills-based answer, as a technical one.Currently the field of photonics suffers from a lack of broad expertise in applied modelling and design for industrial optical systems and components.

The Year of Engineering is being fully supported by the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA). The Year of Engineering is a Government campaign, which launched this week to celebrate the world and wonder of UK engineering in 2018.

A nanostructured gate dielectric may have addressed the most significant obstacle to expanding the use of organic semiconductors for thin-film transistors. The structure, composed of a fluoropolymer layer followed by a nanolaminate made from two metal oxide materials, serves as gate dielectric and simultaneously protects the organic semiconductor – which had previously been vulnerable to damage from the ambient environment – and enabl...

Imagine creating a material for the digital information highway that allows a fast lane of laser light thatzips data past the traditional silicon chips.A multi-institutional team of researchers, led by University of Arkansas engineering professor Shui-Qing “Fisher” Yu and a leading Arkansas semiconductor equipment manufacturer, have made significant improvements to a new kind of laser, a semiconducting device that is injected with lig...
