Singular Photonics traces its origin to the pioneering work of Professor Robert Henderson, whose research at the University of Edinburgh helped lay the foundation for modern SPAD imaging. His early breakthroughs integrating SPADs into complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) and creating time-of-flight autofocus sensors reshaped consumer imaging with designs that have shipped in more than a […]

In this episode of Photonics Hot List: Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz are pushing the limits of speed and volumetric imaging, with a new high-speed 3D imaging microscope that can capture the innerworkings of an entire small organism all at once, and in real time.  Business news roundup: PowerPhotonic has named a

In this episode of Photonics Hot List: Researchers at the University of St. Andrews and the University of Cambridge are exploring new uses for OLED technology, with the potential to revolutionize wireless communications and device connectivity. Business news roundup: Recently secured funding is preparing OpenLight Photonics to become its own venture-backed company. Elsewhere, funding awarded

LCOS devices are driven by AC voltage, which can induce flickering caused by oscillation of liquid crystal molecules. While flicker may be negligible in visual applications, it can severely impact high-precision optical systems. Our SLM reduces flicker by operating at drive frequencies above 1 KHz. It also supports video signal input via a digital visual

In this episode, host Justine Murphy talks with Nelufar Mohajeri, director of membership and community development at SPIE; Peter Andersen, leader of the Biophotonic Imaging Group and head of DTU Health Tech PhD School at the Technical University of Denmark; and Stefan Andersson-Engels, who is head of biophotonics and deputy director of the Irish Photonics

High-power lasers ensure a robust optical link NKT Photonics’ Koheras single-frequency fiber laser platform is the heart of the system, built around an ACOUSTIK sub-rack with seed laser, pre-amplifier, modulators, and a custom timing module. The signal is split and boosted by five high-power amplifiers, based on core technology, and each amplifier delivers up to

While designed for spaceborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) validation, the study demonstrates why such multidimensional test regimes, combining radiation, thermal, and high-repetition laser stress, are essential to qualify coatings for modern defense systems. Current advances in optical coatings When coating systems are developed for defense and space, it often begins with one basic question:

The technology uses Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe), a nanotechnology approach designed by the SMART DiSTAP and MIT researchers. It enables the design of highly selective sensors by coating single-walled carbon nanotubes with custom synthetic polymers. “These polymers form a precise ‘corona phase,’ or binding pocket, which can recognize and respond to specific molecules,” says

One year later, the group has created an evanescent coupler to copackage photonics and electronics. Integrating photonics with electronics within the same package “is the transistor for the 21st century,” says Kimerling, a professor of materials science and engineering at MIT, as well as director of MIT’s Microphotonics Center. Significantly, the group’s evanescent coupler enables
