In this second installment of a two-part episode, Dr. Aydogan Ozcan—Chancellor’s Professor in the Samueli Electrical & Computer Engineering school at UCLA, where he also leads the Bio- and Nanophotonics Lab—reflects on some important lessons learned throughout his career that he’s passing on to the next generation of researchers, and we delve into what’s needed […]

When NLM Photonics’ silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) photonic chips arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) aboard JAXA’s HTV-XI spacecraft on October 29, 2025, it marked a convergence of two critical technology frontiers: An urgent need for power-efficient, high-bandwidth optical communications and sensing for space applications, and the maturation of hybrid organic electro-optic (OEO) technology as

Free-space optical (FSO) communications is transforming the way data travels through space and across the atmosphere. Demand for broadband connectivity is taking off at an explosive rate—from satellite constellations to secure defense links and terrestrial networks—and optical links are increasingly adopted as a solution to transmit more data, faster, and more securely than ever before.

Nearly every global automaker—Mercedes, Toyota, Hyundai, BYD, GM, Ford, and others—are integrating LiDAR into next-generation vehicles. The only notable exception is Tesla, and even their position may eventually change. Front-facing LiDAR will soon be standard on nearly every make and model, while rear and side LiDAR will increasingly appear on mid- to high-end platforms. FMCW’s

In a breakthrough for high-harmonic generation (HHG), a team of researchers led by Professor Miriam Serena Vitiello and her group at CNR-Institute of Nanoscience in Italy demonstrated topological insulators make it possible to reach previously inaccessible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. HHG is a way to convert light into higher frequencies. But accessing terahertz frequencies
