Semiconductors are essential for modern day life as we know it. From their usage in integrated circuits for computers’ logic functions to satellite communications, semiconductors allow for efficient ...

Optical cavities form one of the crucial elements in the laser system design apart from the gain medium and other active and passive elements. For applications other than lasers, optical cavities can ...

Introducing Surface Plasmon Resonance Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an optical detection technique commonly used to study biomolecular interactions. SPR is highly-sensitive to changes in the ...

Introduction The invention and utilization of artificial light was crucial to the development of civilization because it enabled humans to extend the length of the day. Today, certain light bulbs are ...

Electro-optic modulators are increasingly becoming a vital component of optical processing systems. We have previously written about electro-optics generally, the different kinds of electro-optical ...

Nanotechnology continues to fascinate us with smaller and smaller devices. Engineers all around the world are constantly pushing and perfecting our manufacturing capabilities to fit more devices within a ...

Understanding the emergence of New Developments Laser eye surgeries such as LASIK are used to treat a number of eye conditions including retinal tears and detachments, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. ...

Raman scattering phenomenon can be used to engineer broadband tunable lasers and to generate a broad band of frequencies in the IR spectrum. These light sources are instrumental for probing and detecting ...

For any high-sensitivity laser application, it is essential that all necessary characteristics of the laser beam in use can be quantified and characterized beforehand. To this end, we have written ...

Cardiovascular Disease and Photoacoustic Imaging Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death in the world, accounting for 31% of all deaths. This class of diseases includes heart ...
