Killer dyes that can wipe out bacteria could help solve the superbug problems faced by surgical patients, scientists heard today (Wednesday 10 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin.
Syntec Optics, the largest independent manufacturer of custom plastic optics in North America, has been granted a US patent for its HRDT(TM) (High Refraction Diamond Turning) technology, in production use since late 2005. Most Syntec HRDT projects have been defense-related. However, HRDT holds promise for other markets, such as datacom, that require asymmetric, low-cost optics with high wave sensitivity and strong heat resistance, and share with defense an imperative to shave development cycles.
AOptix Technologies, Inc., (AOptix) a leading edge developer of ultra-high bandwidth laser communication solutions, under contract to Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Information Directorate, Rome, New York, today, announced a program to test and evaluate the performance of a long distance combined optical and RF link system.
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).
