Möbius Strip: The Light Way
A Möbius strip is a 3-Dimensional structure which has one side. It is easy to create a Möbius strip using a piece of paper, however, they are not easy to find naturally. Recently, a team of researchers have demonstrated experimentally that you can produce a Möbius strip made of polarisation states of light. This was […]
The electronics world dependent on lasers
Lasers are ever-increasing their presence in the electronics world; advancing the manufacturing technology and enabling miniaturisation. It is due to the laser’s precise machining that guarantees quality for microscopic structures enabling smaller electronics than conventional methods. As the laser market continues to develop, this opens new applications within electronics world. One of the key area […]
Brain-like computing
Computers could soon function like a human brain. New research published in Advanced Optical Materials shows the possibility of optical computers with the ability to learn. The Photonics Institute (TPI) reproduced neural networks and synapses like those in the brain, using light-sensitive glass fibres. The team simulated neural resting state before mimicking the nerve firing […]
Visit Laser Quantum at SPIE.DSS
Between April 20 and 24, Laser Quantum will be exhibiting at the SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing (DSS) conference in the Baltimore Convention Centre, Maryland, USA. This important conference will cover the key topics of optics, imaging and sensing for defense, security, industry, health and the environment. Laser Quantum has a broad range of FAA […]
