Precision Motion Control for Fiber Optics and Silicon Photonics includes Aerotech's latest precision mechanics, state-of-the-art controls, customized motion subsystems, and intuitive software for fiber-optic alignment, bonding and laser welding, pick-and-place assembly, waveguide and fiber Bragg grating manufacture, and more.

Engineers and physicians at Duke University have developed a handheld device capable of capturing images of a retina with cellular resolution. Theprobe will allow researchers to gather detailed structural information about the eyes of infants and toddlers for the first time.

Offering greater flexibility for miniaturized precision positioning and handling tasks, PI (Physik Instrumente) has announced its newest digital servo controller with 3-channels. Applications include precision alignment and automation, semiconductor technology, photonics, bio-nano-technology, metrology, microscopy, micro-manipulation.

The plasmonic laser, says Sushil Kumar, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, uses metal films or nanoparticles to confine light energy inside the cavity from which laser light is generated. By storing light energy inside the cavity through a combination of electron oscillations in the integrated metal films or nanoparticles, plasmonic lasers utilise surface-plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) to store energy in dimensions that can...

As an important step towards graphene integration in silicon photonics, researchers from the Graphene Flagship have published a paper which shows how graphene can provide a simple solution for silicon photodetection in the telecommunication wavelengths. Published in Nano Letters, this research is a collaboration between the University of Cambridge (UK), The Hebrew University (Israel) and John Hopkins University (USA).

In 2017 The European Conference on Integrated Optics return to Eindhoven at the Science Park of the Technical University of Eindhoven. They will retain the same clear focus on leading edge research, providing a forum for experts from industry and academia to share the latest new thinking and exchange new insights and findings in the fields of integrated optics, optoelectronics and nanophotonics.

Taking their ideas from defence mechanisms found in plants such as the lotus leaf, the ‘high throughput laser texturing of self-cleaning and antibacterial surfaces’, or ‘TresClean’ project, has made a breakthrough that will enable the production of self-cleaning sheet metal on an industrial scale for the first time.

Designed for measuring high power lasers in industrial processing applications, a compact laser power meter has been announced by Ophir Photonics Group. The Helios measures high power solid state lasers, such as diode, fibre and Nd:YAG lasers, with powers from 100W to 12kW and energies from 10J to 10kJ.

Scientists at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, have successfully applied concepts of classical holography to the world of quantum phenomena. A new measurement technique has enabled them to register the first ever hologram of a single light particle, thereby shedding new light on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Therefore, they have created the first ever hologram of a single light particle.

ICT-STREAMS, a part of the European Union Horizon 2020 programme, is an ambitious project aiming to develop the necessary transceiver and routing technologies to enable multi-terabit on-board chip-to-chip communications.
