Physicists at the University of Bath have developed a technique to more reliably produce single photons that can be imprinted with quantum information.The invention will benefit a variety of processes which rely on photons to carry quantum information, such as quantum computing, secure quantum communication and precision measurements at low light levels.Photons, particles of light, can be imprinted with information to be used for things like carr...

The acquisition of a solid-state laser beam steering technology from Vescent Photonics has been announced byAnalog Devices (ADI). Vescent’s non-mechanical beam steering technology enables more robust integrated LIDAR systems that overcome many of the major drawbacks associated with today’s bulky mechanical offerings such as reliability, size, and cost.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that concentrations of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere are roughly two and a half times those of pre-industrial times. The primary component of natural gas, methane is over 20 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide and can remain in the atmosphere for more than a decade.

Infinera announced a number of new platforms within the award winning DTN-X Family designed to power cloud scale networks. With this announcement, Infinera is ushering in the next generation of Intelligent Transport Network architecture that blends the best of web scale technologies with the best of telco-grade technologies, yielding over 50%better total cost of ownership (TCO) over conventional networks.

Marty McFly's self-lacing Nikes in Back to the Future Part II inspired a UCF scientist who has developed filaments that harvest and store the sun's energy—and can be woven into textiles.The breakthrough would essentially turn jackets and other clothing into wearable, solar-powered batteries that never need to be plugged in.

Sensors are experiencing large-scale deployment in diverse end-user applications across verticals in standalone, integrated, combined, embedded and, more recently, wearable and ingestibles. Sensors are transforming to be highly intelligent with analytical and decision-making capability at the edge.

The F50A-BB-18 thermal power/energy laser measurement sensor has been announced by Ophir Photonics. Designed for continuous use at higher laser powers, the F50A-BB-18 is a compact, fan-cooled sensor with a wide dynamic range. It measures powers from 10mW to 50W and energies from 6mJ to 50J.

Working in the fields of nano-biotechnology, metrology, and photonics, engineers and scientists run applications that require nanometer precision and ultra-fine adjustment, often in confined spaces. Meeting these requirements, PI, provides compact linear piezo positioners – P-620.1 to P-629.1 – of the PIHera family consisting of 60 stages available in a variety of travel ranges.

What could be better than a world-leading atomic clock? Two clocks in one.Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have combined two experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms to set yet another world record for clock stability. Stability can be thought of as how precisely the duration of each clock tick matches every other tick that comes before and after.

Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. has announced the construction of a building no. 3 at its Miyakoda Factory to increase manufacturing capacity of compound semiconductor devices. This expansion is being done in anticipation of growing demand for detectors and emitters in various applications that utilise infrared light.
