X-ray Light Created With Qualities of Laser Light

SwissFEL will create X-ray light with laser-like characteristics. The strong amplification of the light needed is produced by a process known as “micro-bunching” – electron packets break up in the undulator into thin layers which emit light in phase. At the same time, another process called “seeding” is being studied, in which one will be able to establish the properties of the light even more precisely.

NXP Expands LCD Drivers’ Portfolio to Address Vertical Alignment Display Technology Requirements

Vertical Alignment (VA) is a display technology in which the liquid crystals naturally align vertically to the glass substrates (homeotropic alignment). When no voltage is applied, the polarized light passes through the cell without a change in polarization and the light is completely blocked by the second polarizer set at 90o to the first, creating a perfectly black state. When voltage is applied, the LC molecules rotate to a horizontal position allowing light to pass through and create a white display image.
