A spectroscope with unrivalled performance, able to identify tiny amounts of trace gases in real time, has been developed by researchers from CNRS's Molecular Photophysics Institute (Laboratoire de Photophysique moléculaire, LPPM) and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Germany), within the framework of the European Laboratory for Frequency Comb Spectroscopy. Led by Theodor W. Hänsch, Nobel Laureate in Physics (2005) and Nathalie Picqué of LPPM, the international team has designed an instrument based on two femtosecond laser frequency combs. Thanks to the breakthrough in performance it has achieved, this spectrometer could become the new reference in ultrasensitive spectroscopy. This is a major step forward both for fundamental research and for many applied fields, and is explained in detail in the advance online edition of the journal Nature Photonics.
Additional important milestones have been reached on the road to success, and the pace continues to be fast. By setting up a sales branch office in France, Optics Balzers as a provider of innovative optical thin-film components and assemblies continues to forge ahead with expanding its presence in Europe. Moreover, Christoph Zellweger has joined the product management team at headquarters to contribute to the effort. Recertification of the ISO 9001:2008 quality management system has also been successfully completed.

Glimmerglass, the premier supplier of optical layer management solutions for lawful interception and the intelligence community, today announced that Jay Bowker, Glimmerglass Vice President of Sales for the Asia Pacific region, will speak at the ISS World Asia Pacific 2009 conference held at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Center on Thursday, Dec. 10 from 11:15 - 11:45 AM and 3:30 - 4:30 PM. Addressing intelligence, law enforcement, and telecom operators responsible for lawful interception and network intelligence gathering and dissemination, Mr. Bowker will discuss Optical Solutions for Lawful Interception and the Intelligence Community. Glimmerglass will also provide conference attendees demonstrations of the company’s optical switching systems, illustrating the benefits of using pure optics with no electronic conversions to provide flexible optical signal distribution solutions.
OSI Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider of specialized electronic products for critical applications in the Security and Healthcare industries, today announced that OSI Electronics, a business within its Optoelectronic and Manufacturing division, has received a contract award for approximately $6 million from ITT Corporation for electronic sub-assemblies. The electronic sub-assemblies are to be used by the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) in their Mine Resistant Ambush Protected ("MRAP") armored vehicle program.
Tiny devices made possible by combining the latest advances in mechanical and electronics technology could be at the heart of next-generation personal navigation and vehicle stabilisation tools thanks to European researchers.
David Bocian of the University of California, Riverside will receive more than $1 million over five years as a co-investigator in the Photosynthetic Antenna Research Center (PARC), to be headquartered at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. The center seeks to better understand natural photosynthetic systems and design more durable human-made compounds for capturing light.
Associate Professor Timothy Kraft, Ph.D., has developed a new gunsight design that relies on subconscious ability. Opti-sight, a UAB-protected innovation, updates a pistol-aiming device that has remained unchanged for more than a century. Opti-sight promises to reduce the time law enforcement, professional and amateur shooters need for target practice to improve marksmanship.
Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) announced today that it has shipped the first units of its ground-breaking SYNAPT(TM) G2 Mass Spectrometer, first introduced at the 2009 American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) annual conference in Philadelphia in June.
