November’s photonics-related IP activities include 31 cases concerning various technologies, including imaging systems and image processing; displays; lighting and light sources; sensors; medical and dental applications; optical communications; biological and life sciences applications; virtual reality/augmented reality; solar cells; wearable products; and self-driving cars. Here are the summaries. Cameras, imaging systems, and image processing VDPP, LLC […]

Although the volume of venture deals appeared to slow in November, the diversity of technologies that were funded highlights the broad applicability of photonics across various industries. Quantum computing is again on the list. In recent months we have seen deals for quantum processor technologies that rely on photonics, such as qubits built from photonic

photonics-Europe’s core pillars are thriving, according to venture capital (VC) firm Atomico’s newly released State of European Tech Report 2024. Talent, capital, and ambition continue to drive this transformation, with $1B+ companies now a feature of almost every European economy. Funding is driving this shift in a positive direction: $426B has been invested since 2015,

A new season in photonics begins As summer holidays in North America and Europe end, we find ourselves entering new territory amidst a tide of change. From the shift in the presidential line-up for the U.S. election to global geopolitics, software patches, and unstable financial markets, external forces continue to exert pressures on today’s photonics

August’s photonics-related IP activities include 34 cases concerning various technologies, including cameras and imaging systems, displays, lighting and light sources, optical communications, medical and dental applications, biological and life sciences, augmented reality/virtual reality, sensors, and solar cells. Here are the summaries. Cameras, imaging systems, and image processing AI-Core Technologies sued Omron Corporation on August 1st

In this interview, Antonio Castelo, EPIC’s technology manager for biomedical and lasers, talks to Jonas Heidrich, product line manager at Menhir Photonics, and Maik Frede, cofounder and CEO of neoLASE, about their collaboration and future plans. Menhir Photonics and neoLASE GmbH recently demonstrated how the MENHIR-1030 laser seeder can be easily amplified using a neoLASE

Can you introduce us to IBM Heron/Qiskit and explain why it’s a step forward for the quantum realm? Blake Johnson: IBM Quantum Heron is our most performant processor to-date. As announced at the IBM Quantum Developer Conference, Heron is now capable of executing certain quantum circuits of up to 5,000 gate operations—nearly twice the number

The greatest American: Inventor Ever wonder if any American president was a U.S. patent-bearing inventor? The answer is yes and only one to date. Read on and discover the depth and passion this U.S. president had for invention and innovation. The story of his manifestation of these passions is an inspiration for all inventors to

A significant discovery At the time he was conducting his Ph.D. research, the goal was to develop a quantum computer. Morizur focused on a method that could take spacially entangled photons and mix them to shape the desired entanglement. This new approach was called multi-plane light conversion (MLPC). By placing mirrors in different areas and
