A collaboration of over 50 astronomers, The IPHAS consortium, led from the UK, with partners in Europe, USA, Australia, has released today the first comprehensive optical digital survey of our own Milky Way. Conducted by looking at light emitted by hydrogen ions, using the Isaac Newton Telescope on La Palma, the survey contains stunning red images of nebulae and stars. The data is described in a paper submitted to the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Nu Horizons Electronics Corp., a leading distributor of advanced technology semiconductor, display, illumination, power and system solutions, today announced the expansion of their Nu Solutions Network to include a number of industry leading suppliers focused on providing LED lighting solutions. Individually, each company offers leading-edge products, services and outstanding customer support.
ChemImage, a leader in Chemical Imaging technology, recently received an SBIR Phase I grant for studying Silicon Carbide (SiC) based materials for space-based optics.
Power Technology, Inc. will now offer high power Blue and Violet laser diodes for use with our PM laser module, 405 nm at 60mW, increasing cost savings and allowing for additional selection variety.
For outstanding research work on innovative lighting technologies Dr. Klaus Streubel and Dr. Stefan Illek from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, together with Dr. Andreas Bräuer from the Fraunhofer Institute for Optics and Precision Engineering in Jena, were awarded this year’s prize for technology and innovation from the President of Germany. The German Future Prize for 2007 was awarded specifically for thin-film chip technology and its application in the Ostar family of LEDs.
Coherent, Inc. has introduced the AVIA™ 532-38, a diode-pumped, solid state laser which delivers over 38 W of output at 532 nm (at 120 kHz) with a pulsewidth of only 45 nsec.
Infinitely secure cryptography that renders any computer unhackable. Computers that can solve the structure of a complicated protein at the drop of a hat. Programs to decrypt complicated enemy secrets. Optical data connections up to 100 times faster than current technology allows.
IBM researchers report a significant advance in the quest to send information between multiple cores - “brains” - on a chip using pulses of light through silicon, instead of electrical signals on wires.
Images from NASA-funded telescopes aboard a Japanese satellite have shed new light about the sun's magnetic field and the origins of solar wind, which disrupts power grids, satellites and communications on Earth.
The California Institute of Technology and the University of California have received a $200 million commitment over nine years from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation toward the further development and construction of the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT). Funding under this commitment will be shared equally between the two universities, with matching gifts from the two institutions expected to bring the total to $300 million. When built, TMT will be the largest telescope in the world.
