Light Demonstrates Angular Acceleration When Traveling Along a Helical Path

Light must travel in a straight line and at a constant speed, or so the laws of nature suggest. Now, researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg have demonstrated that laser light traveling along a helical path through space, can accelerate and decelerate as it spins into the distance.

Laser Scanning for Analysis of Ecological Properties of Nature Protection Areas

Simply declaring a region as a nature protection area is not enough, regular monitoring of its ecological condition is also necessary. Since Nature protection areas already cover almost one fifth of the surface of the European Union, it is impossible to inspect such a vast area in the traditional way on foot.

Stemmer Imaging Introduces Laser Profiling Sensor with Dual Cameras for 3D Scanning of Large Surface Areas

The new, self-contained LMI Gocator 2880 laser profiling sensor features dual cameras for scanning large surface areas with irregular shapes and textures. The use of two cameras at different angles overcomes shadowing effects resulting from protruding features. The new sensor offers a large field of view and measurement range and provides fast and complete data acquisition for cross-sectional shapes of parts and materials surfaces. Cross-sections can be collected to create 3D point clouds representing whole parts for performing volumetric measurements.
