This episode features Brad Booth, CEO of NLM Photonics. He came to NLM with years of experience working on Meta platforms and Microsoft Azure, and has held roles at Dell, Intel, and Bell-Northern Research. Following the Photons: A Photonics Podcast dives deep into the fascinating world of photonics and optics. Join us as we bring […]

On one hand, “diamond stands out with the highest thermal conductivity among known crystals, which not only promises a significant power improvement through efficient heat management but also minimizes thermal distortions at high power levels,” says Zhenxu Bai, a professor of optics, vice dean of the School of Electronics and Information Engineering, and deputy director

A quantum “tornado” is a simplified term for an orbital vortex line, and work led by Maximilian Ünzelmann, a Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter (ct.qmat) postdoctoral researcher at the Universities of Würzburg and Dresden in Germany, experimentally demonstrated electrons form these vortices within the momentum space of quantum semimetal tantalum arsenide (TaAs). Momentum space

Since Robert Hooke and Jan van Leeuwenhoek made their first studies of microorganisms with early microscopes, optical imaging has been at the forefront of advancing knowledge of life and organic materials. A key challenge within the life sciences is imaging photosensitive samples that can easily experience photobleaching, where the strength of the signal dims due

Liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) served us well for decades, but demand for smaller and more efficient displays for smartphones, wearables, and virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) headsets is now driving development of displays based on microLEDs and microOLEDs. While microdisplay technologies provide advantages over LCDs and OLEDs, like lower
