🗞️ #NSERC RESEARCH STORY A team from Institut national de la recherche scientifique - Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications has developed the world's fastest camera, achieving 156.3 trillion frames/s with astonishing precision. For the first time, 2D optical imaging of ultrafast demagnetization in a single shot is possible. This new device called #SCARF (for swept-coded aperture real-time #femtophotography) can capture transient absorption in a semiconductor and ultrafast demagnetization of a metal alloy.

Graphene-quantum dot hybrid enables compact multispectral light detection. Novel photodetector combines quantum dots and graphene to achieve multispectral sensing without bulky optics, advancing miniaturized spectral analysis technology - https://lnkd.in/gCSMu5B5

And yet another small piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. 😊 One of my articles on 3D photonics has now been published in a journal. It's about the development of this small vertical light coupler, which is used in a light waveguide network. This development allows routing of the optical waveguides without a single physical crossing. If you want to read more about it: https://lnkd.in/d8EQv_K9

A study by University of Oxford made significant progress in reconfigurable phase-change metalenses, using Sb2Se3, a low-loss phase-change material. This breakthrough enables tunable lenses with higher efficiency, paving the way for advancements in optical communications, multi-depth imaging, beam steering, optical routing, and holography. We're proud that Scintacor's CamIR digital CCD camera played a crucial role in this research by capturing the high-quality 2D light-intensity images needed to validate the metalens performance. Innovative technologies like these are shaping the future of optics, and we're thrilled to be a part of it!

Today, on the occasion of the #InternationalDayofLight, is a perfect day to brag about an #article and beautiful cover in the Laser & Photonics Review Magazine! On the cover - terahertz light in the form of an Airy beam – resembling the “THz sun” – illuminating Fresnel, Fibonacci, and Bessel-shaped THz beams illustrates the comprehensive study of THz light engineering in nonparaxial lensless imaging systems based on silicon diffractive optics.   "..the presented findings open a ground-breaking pathway for the advancement of a new generation of compact non-paraxial THz imaging systems employing engineered and structured light in illumination or image retrieval schemes. In particular, they can play an essential role in the further development of miniature THz imaging systems that rely on the integration of optical components directly on a semiconductor chip. As a consequence, it will stimulate novel applications that enrich the scope of a rapidly evolving field of advanced THz technology." Congratulations to the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) research team, including our colleague Ernestas Nacius for the publication and this scenic cover! Learn more about the #study and our #WOP #diffractive #optical #elements for Thz frequencies - through the links in the comments section.

Bimodal waveguide transducers (BiMW) are a type of transducer used in the field of integrated photonics and optical communications. These transducers utilize bimodal waveguides, which are waveguides that support two different optical modes simultaneously. In optical communication systems, these transducers are used for various purposes, including modulation and detection of optical signals. By exploiting the properties of bimodal waveguides, BiMW transducers can perform functions such as modulating the intensity or phase of an optical signal, or detecting optical signals with high sensitivity. BiMW transducers play a crucial role in the development of integrated photonics devices and systems, enabling compact and efficient manipulation of optical signals on a chip-scale platform. They are of interest in applications such as data communication, sensing, and optical signal processing. goetzen@microtec-d.com #3dprinting #photonic #microfluidic
