INDUSTRY NEWS
IPG enters mid-IR laser market with PII acquisition
Fiber-laser manufacturer IPG Photonics acquired the outstanding shares of privately-held Photonics Innovations, Inc. (PII), allowing IPG to expand ts product offerings to the mid-IR (around 2 to 5 microns).
SphereOptics acquired by Halma and to merge with Labsphere
SphereOptics, a maker of custom light measurement technologies, will join Halma’s global group of photonics businesses as it is merged with Labsphere.
RIT imager maps earthquake disaster zone in Haiti
In the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake that struck Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, scientists from RIT are sweeping the leveled city with high-tech environmental imaging integrated into a small aircraft.
Call for submissions: CLEO/Laser Focus World Innovation Awards
The Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) and Laser Focus World are seeking submissions for the annual Innovation Awards Program, honoring the best optics and photonics products.
TECHNOLOGY NEWS
Kaai demonstrates 523 nm CW green laser diode
Kaai (Goleta, CA) has demonstrated green laser diodes emitting at 523 nm, the longest continuous-wave (CW) green laser-diode emission reported to date.
Varioptic announces optical image stabilization for mobile phones
Varioptic (Lyon, France), which makes electrically controlled liquid lenses, has developed its first liquid lens that offers optical image stabilization (OIS) to mobile phones.
BaySpec partners with e2v on OCT spectral engine
Spectroscopy solutions provider BaySpec's collaboration with e2v on a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) spectral engine allows up to three times greater collection efficiency and a 10X SNR improvement.
Casio launches GREEN SLIM mercury-free hybrid light projector
Casio America and its parent company Casio Computer have created a mercury-free, high-brightness laser and light-emitting diode (LED) hybrid light source under its “clean & green” concept for projectors.

Scalable silicon photmultiplier array uses low-light detection
sensL's four-side, scalable, low-light-detecting silicon photomultiplier array has a small form factor that makes it suitable for weight and space constrained handheld radiation detection and identification systems for homeland security and for simpler and more compact PET and SPECT ring assembly in medical imaging applications.
sensL; Cork, Ireland
 
Nonyellowing permanent, temporary adhesive cures rapidly
Master Bond's UV14-3 UV cure adhesive is designed for temporary bonding applications, offering excellent vibration and shock resistance as well as resistance to thermal cycling and thermal shock and easily removed without surface contamination. It cures within seconds upon exposure to UV light at room temperature.
Master Bond; Hackensack, NJ
 
Volumetric Velocimetry system offers kHz resolution
Dantec Dynamics has introduced a new Volumetric Velocimetry system, which when combined with high-frame-rate cameras, opens a new era for both experimental fluid dynamics research and theoretical model validation. The system provides volumetric velocity information at kHz temporal resolution.

Excimer lasers open blocked arteries
Used to unblock coronary and peripheral arteries for placement of stents, excimer lasers are now being tested for use to literally stop heart attacks in their tracks. Another emerging application: treatment of renal artery stenosis.
Nikon super resolution microscope incorporates SIM technology
A super resolution microscope system from Nikon Instruments incorporates Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) technology licensed from UCSF, enabling researchers to view microstructures and nanostructures of cells with molecular-scale resolution.
Stimulated emission microscopy makes nonfluorescing molecules glow
Cornell University professor Chris B. Schaffer says stimulated emission microscopy, pioneered by Wei Min and Sijia Lu and their colleagues under the direction of Harvard University professor Sunney Xie, was first described by Albert Einstein and the basis for the LASER.
A new tool for brain discovery
The ability to measure micron-level neuronal activity patterns in the mammalian neocortex is enabling insight into brain sensory and motor processing functions related to cardiac fibrillation and epilepsy. Voltage-sensitive dye, optical recording techniques, and vibration isolation are key to the work.
