Researchers at the Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) developed a pump laser module for ophthalmologic treatments. The module offers a cost-effective pump source for laser systems that are used to treat retinal detachments. The miniaturized module can be flexibly adjusted to provide the optimal wavelength for its intended application.

The semiconductor-based, miniaturized laser module could provide a reliable, efficient way to provide laser surgery that is targeted to the condition being treated and could reduce the costs of ophthalmologic laser surgery.

Retinal detachment can lead to visual impairment and blindness, and must be treated promptly. Laser coagulation, a well-established method that uses laser points to...

Nine-month revenue up by 34 percent to €698 million with “organic growth” of 12 percent.

“Scalable” 50kW source results from £100 million investment; capability tested to range of 3.4km.

Experimental results suggest that the image-resolution assist provided by tiny spheres is linked to enhancement of the effective numerical aperture.

Ayar Labs has been awarded a $15 million multiyear prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in support of Project KANAGAWA — the Co-Packaged Analog-Drive High-Bandwidth Optical Input/Output Project. The OTA, a nontraditional government contracting method for fast tracking research and innovation, was issued by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division to support the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering Trusted & Assured Microelectronics (T&AM) program.

In a separate development, Ayar Labs also added two industry veterans to its executive team in newly created roles.

KANAGAWA will promote the development of Ayar Labs’ optical interconnects to lead its transition...

Though microspheres — microscale spherical particles that can be manufactured from natural and synthetic materials — are known to improve lateral resolution and enhance magnification in microscopic imaging, a generally accepted explanation for their positive effect on resolution has yet to be introduced. Microsphere-assisted measurements are used in a wide range of applications: These measurements support examination of the features of engineered surfaces with lateral dimensions beyond the resolution limit, and also apply to evaluation of biological and medical objects such as viruses and subcellular structures.

As a result, many theoretical studies have been conducted to better understand the role of microspheres in...
