Tag: opticsWrapping Solar Cells around an Optical Fiber Dye-sensitized cells get a double boost from nanowires and optical fiber. Embedding microlenses in thin films could bring 3-D movies and games to mobile devices. Building the World's Most Powerful Laser New lasers will be key to making fusion energy and proton therapy practical. An energy-efficient silicon device compresses light to make ultrafast signals. Surface-plasmon lasers could enable a new generation of computers based on nanophotonics. A Superlens That Assembles Itself Easily made nanolenses can perform superhigh-resolution lithography and imaging. Silicon Chip Spots Blood Proteins A microfluidic chip that integrates a light sensor detects blood proteins. An ultrasound lens could be used for high-resolution clinical imaging. QD Vision is using its quantum dots in LED lighting to produce more pleasing white light. Transferring the state of separated ions could point the way to quantum computing. Invisibility-Cloak Breakthrough New software has enabled metamaterials to work with a broad band of frequencies. A new, high-resolution imaging system captures "early" photons. Researchers have made new nano building blocks for optical computing and solar-cell coatings. Advances in adaptive optics are bringing the universe into focus. |
