The Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) market embodies the technology of remote sensing, surveying, and the use of laser pulses to measure distance and generate detailed three-dimensional models of objects, terrain, and environment.The LiDAR system emits a laser beam and measures the time required for the light to return to the surface, creating accurate and high-resolution digital representation...

PhotonVentures, based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, has announced the launch of a venture capital fund designed to help early-stage photonic chip startups and scale-up businesses.In the first round of funding, PhotonDelta, a Dutch photonic integrated circuit (PIC) pioneer, raised €60 million as the lead investor and numerous private investors. PhotonVentures said it plans to raise a total of...

Recently, physicists from the University of Bath in the UK have developed a new generation of specialized optical fibers to address the data transmission challenges of the future quantum computing era. This achievement is expected to promote the expansion of large-scale quantum networks. The research results were published in the latest issue of Applied Physics Letters Quantum.The highly anticipat...

Organic solid-state lasers (OSLs) are expected to achieve widespread applications due to their flexibility, tunability, and efficiency. However, they are difficult to manufacture and require over 150.000 possible experiments to find successful new materials, and discovering them will be a work of several lifetimes. In fact, according to data from the University of Toronto in Canada, only 10-20 new...

Streamlight, a leading supplier of high-performance lighting and weapon lights/laser aiming equipment, has launched upgraded models of its TLR RM 1 and TLR RM 2 series of lights, each now equipped with an HPL face cap, providing ultra bright beams of up to 1000 lumens and an extended range of up to 22000 candela.The popular TLR RM 1 and TLR RM 2 models are equipped with red or green lasers, both o...
