Table-top solid-state laser system cuts brain tissue with unprecedented precision
25 May 2012, 9:43 am
Researchers from the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) were involved in the development of a table-top solid-state laser system that could cut brain tissue with unprecedented precision. The achievement is a result of an interdisciplinary EU project that involved partners from seven European countries.
ADVA extends OpenFlow to optical layer
16 May 2012, 2:49 pm
ADVA Optical Networking says that it has created a way to extend the capabilities of OpenFlow to control
wavelength-switched optical networks. The advance potentially links optical communication with the growing interest in software-defined networks, of which OpenFlow is an enabler.

Infrared Filters offer transmittance beyond 22 micron wavelength.
8 May 2012, 7:56 am
Suited for remote sensing, chemical analysis, astrophysics/astronomy, and horizon sensors, VLWIR filters provide transmittance over 12 micron to beyond 22 micron
wavelength region. Coatings pass all environmental tests utilizing physical vapor deposition (PVD) process and can be repeatedly cycled between ambient and cryogenic temperatures without degradation. VLWIR optical coatings are available ...
Importance of short-wavelength excitation in environmental vibrations due to urban rail traffic
26 April 2012, 11:34 pm
An inversion study will be published in Science China: Technological Sciences. The study will examine the excitation source function of environmental vibration due to urban rail traffic, which may be deemed a novel approach. Observation data indicate that uneven wheel-rail contact in the short
wavelength range is the main generation mechanism of ground vibration.
Deposition Sciences Introduces Very Long wavelength Infrared (VLWIR) Filters
26 April 2012, 10:48 am
Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI®), manufacturer of highly durable thin film optical coatings, announces a new line of very long
wavelength infrared (VLWIR) filters. The filters provide high transmittance over the 12-micron to beyond the 22-micron
wavelength region. Utilizing DSIâs high precision physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, these robust coatings readily pass all environmental tests ...

The sheer scale of the endeavour is mind-boggling. A typical optical telescope might have a diameter a few million times the
wavelength of the light it is collecting. Applying that scale to radio astronomy—where
wavelengths are measured in centimetres ...
Technion improves microscope resolution 10-fold - Jerusalem Post
22 May 2012, 3:25 pm
“When you look through an optical microscope at an object with features [optical information] smaller than one-half the
wavelength of light, you necessarily see a blurred image,” explained Prof. Moti Segev of the Technion’s physics department.
Why are harps harp-shaped? - The Guardian
12 May 2012, 7:30 am
Four quantities characterise a wave. Speed, frequency,
wavelength and amplitude. You could add a fifth maybe, the shape of the wave, which is where all the tone and other subtleties come in. That's where Stradivarius made his cash. But being a ...
