Data-based decisions for cardiovascular diseases Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. 20.5 million people died from CVDs in 2021, which represents about one third of all global deaths. Hi-D Imaging is dedicated to measuring and analyzing blood flow characteristics, because these are key indicators of cardiovascular function. Based on its research, […]

Precise, accurate, and continuous monitoring of gases like carbon dioxide and methane is crucial as we work to combat the effects of climate change and ever-progressing air pollution. Recognizing this, a new European Commission-funded initiative could turn existing optical fiber telecommunications networks into a large-scale distributed sensor. Do you have amazing, cutting-edge systems or products?

Extreme electromagnetic fields are created when electrons within materials vibrate and bounce at high speeds, and Aakash Sahai, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Colorado Denver, recently came up with a way to make it happen within the lab for the first time. His inspiration stems from a dire need for

This is the first of a multipart series featuring Robin Hawk, a pioneer in the optics and photonics industry who has codeveloped several technologies, including HDTV. She is now CEO of Galxyz LLC, a company she founded with her husband, Dan Hawk, where they’re developing next-generation technologies like nuclear diamond-powered ultraviolet quantum photonics platforms, end-to-end

After years of anticipation, AR glasses are finally reaching a pivotal point. As hardware design evolves to deliver lighter, slimmer, and more comfortable devices, we are on the cusp of making AR truly wearable for everyday life. This breakthrough is driven by the convergence of miniaturized components and scalable manufacturing that enable brands to develop

Galvanometer scanner and optical errors. The galvanometer scanner, while incredibly fast and agile, brings its own set of errors. F-theta lenses, which are used to translate the scanner’s angular motion into a flat focal plane, are not perfect and introduce spatial nonlinearities known as pincushion or barrel distortion (see Fig. 3). Furthermore, the laser beam

New solutions for process monitoring As the demand for precision and efficiency in laser processing grows, manufacturers struggle to maintain quality assurance with outdated methods. Manual inspections and conventional monitoring systems often lead to high error rates, increased scrap, production downtimes, and inefficient workflows. Common production challenges include unstable processes, high scrap rates, undetected process

Prototype quantum networks, pluggable fiber-optic quantum comms modules ahead Photon pairs produced by the group’s devices are ready to build prototype quantum networks for distributing quantum information. “We use a 1550-nm wavelength compatible with existing long-haul fiber infrastructure, and Professor Kumar’s group at Northwestern recently showed that quantum and classical signals can coexist on the
