CIP Technologies (CIP) has today announced the official launch of its HyBoard(TM) hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) platform. The launch will feature a live demonstration of a multichannel DWDM laser module producing 16 independent wavelengths on a 50GHz grid at the company's booth (#263), at ECOC 2008.
The latest technological breakthrough from Maui Jim, the new MauiPassport, provides prescription sunglass wearers -- including fans of the latest wrap-styles -- unsurpassed clarity, acuity, color enhancement and glare protection across the entire field of view.
Kotura, Inc., a leading provider of silicon photonic components, today announced that Sun Microsystems has signed a five year $14M development contract with Kotura for DARPA's Ultraperformance Nanophotonic Intrachip Communications (UNIC) program. Previously, Sun announced its participation in DARPA's $44M program to advance a virtual supercomputer using an on-chip network of low-cost optical interconnects.
Taiwan's sales of new energy-efficient lights soared during the first half of this year, helped by the Beijing Olympics and higher energy prices that are encouraging the use of lower-cost lighting. Taiwan's light-emitting diode (LED) makers reported that their sales rose 16.1 percent in the first half of this year from the same period a year earlier.
Harry Potter beware! A team of Chinese scientists has developed a way to unmask your invisibility cloak. According to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal, certain materials underneath an invisibility cloak would allow invisible objects be seen again.
NeoPhotonics today announced in conjunction with the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) that sales figures from 2006 thru 2Q 2008 have established the company as a top supplier of optical components -- for fiber access, metro and long-haul optical network equipment -- to Huawei, one of the world's largest suppliers of telecommunications network equipment (Huawei reported contract sales of US $16 billion in 2007).
The LSST, or Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a large survey telescope being built in northern Chile, requires three large mirrors to give crisp images over a record large field of view. The two largest of these mirrors are concentric and fit neatly onto a single mirror blank. The single-piece primary and tertiary mirror blank emerged from the oven at the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory Mirror Lab in Tucson, AZ, where team members gathered to celebrate this major milestone.
In collaboration with Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) in Dresden, Germany, LayTec has adopted its spectral reflectometer EpiR DA to an OLED in-line evaporation system to monitor UV-VIS reflectivity spectra of individual layers during production process.
Two UC Santa Barbara astronomers are part of a team that has made a stunning discovery using the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, it was announced today by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NASA's newest observatory, the Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, has begun its mission of exploring the universe in high-energy gamma rays. The spacecraft and its revolutionary instruments passed their orbital checkout with flying colors.
