国内自主研发首套碳化硅晶锭激光剥离设备投产

The use of organic materials in photonics has given rise to many device innovations for applications in sensing, semiconductors, lasers, and more. The Organic Photonics + Electronics plenary session at SPIE Optics + Photonics 2025, taking place through 7 August in San Diego, California, sampled some current research efforts in this subfield, and looked at developments on the horizon.Ruth Shinar d...

In order to maintain relevance and success, companies with a long history must respect their past while not ignoring the future. This is the method adopted by Cincinnati Corporation (CI), a metal processing machinery manufacturer based in Harrison, Ohio, since its establishment in the late 1890s.The company is carefully considering technological changes. Incorrect selection of control hardware, ne...

Quantum optics is a complex field where theoretical and experimental physicists collaborate to achieve breakthroughs in explaining subatomic level phenomena.Recently, Farokh Mivehvar from the University of Innsbruck used the most comprehensive model in quantum optics, the Dicke model, to study the interaction between two groups of atoms in a quantized field. This new study makes it possible to obs...

Scientists at the City University of New York use tiny nitrogen defects in the atomic structure of diamonds as "color centers" to write data for storage. This technology is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology and allows for encoding multiple bytes of data into the same nitrogen defect at multiple optical frequencies, without confusing the information content.The common laser based techn...
