The infrared sky is expanding significantly for the world astronomical community with the first world release of data (DR1) from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS).
V.I.O. Inc., the leading innovator of hands-free video technology, announced today a direct funding collaboration with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to perform research and development of specialized wearable video technology for military and law enforcement applications.
Carnegie Mellon University joined the collaboration building the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
Gooch & Housego PLC today announced the launch of a new company that brings together five leading players in the photonics industry under the Gooch & Housego brand name. The new offering, launched at Photonics West 2008 (stand #1013), will deliver a comprehensive portfolio of customised optical components to the global industrial laser, bio-medical, defense and metrology market places.
Research looking at the field of quantum metrology in which quantum mechanics is used to obtain highly precise measurements has been named at No 15 in Scientific American’s Top 50 outstanding technological leaderships of 2006-2007. The work was carried out by an international team of scientists, including Dr Jeremy O’Brien of Bristol University.
At the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, Luxtera Inc. today announced its demonstration of the world’s first DisplayPort optical interconnect based on its breakthrough Silicon Photonics technology. As part of the Video Electronics Standards Association’s (VESA) DisplayPort™ TechZone, Luxtera is showcasing its long reach optical solution for digital home and digital signage applications.
Kopin Corporation announces smallest color SVGA display (800 x 600 resolution) in the LCD industry. The CyberDisplay SVGA LVS microdisplay has the same size (0.44' diagonal) as Kopin’s current CyberDisplay VGA display (640 x 480 resolution), allowing it to utilize the same optics and housing developed for the VGA display.
Scientists have used magnetic fields and tiny iron-bearing particles to drive healthy cells to targeted sites in blood vessels. The research, done in animals, may lead to a new method of delivering
cells and genes to repair injured or diseased organs in people.
The communications revolution is moving at light speed in California, where Verizon's all-fiber- optic FiOS TV service is now available to more than 500,000 households, and the company announced plans to expand the service to 1 million homes by the end of this year.
Researchers at the University of Illinois are the first to achieve optical waveguiding of near-infrared light through features embedded in self-assembled, three-dimensional photonic crystals. Applications for the optically active crystals include low-loss waveguides, low-threshold lasers and on-chip optical circuitry.
