BAE Laser Dazzle System enlisted to stop Somali pirates
Remember the non-lethal Laser Dazer? Now, make room for the Laser Dazzle System from BAE Systems, one of several technologies designed to counter the threat posed by Somali pirates off East Africa.
EO Technics acquires Powerlase
EO Technics of Korea acquired the London-based Powerlase Ltd. laser business and assets. EO Technics develops laser-based equipment; Powerlase develops Q-switched DPSS lasers.
PSI acquires QC-laser maker Maxion Technologies
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) acquired Maxion Technologies; this is important to the photonics industry because Maxion is one of the few commercial quantum-cascade-laser companies in the world.
FLIR gets 7.2 million surveillance order from Indian Air Force
FLIR Systems received a 7.2 million U.S. Government Foreign Military Sale (FMS) order from the Indian Air Force for its Star SAFIRE(R) III infrared multi-sensor surveillance systems and services.
TECHNOLOGY NEWS
 NASA releases images from Hubble revamped with new e2v CCDs
NASA released the first official images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope since the May 2009 installation of new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) with CCD image sensors from e2v Technologies.
(VIDEO) Goodrich ISR machine vision improves photovoltaic inspection
Goodrich ISR Systems manufactures indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) imaging technology that can be used in photovoltaic (PV) inspection to detect solar-cell and solar-panel flaws.
Leica 3-D laser data provides forensic evidence in trial
During a murder trial in Superior Court, the Thomas County Sheriff's Department used Leica TruView to virtually place the jury at the crime scene and to show them how the homicide could have occurred.
Heliatek organic solar cells reach 6% efficiency
Heliatek, a spinoff of Dresden University of Technology and University of Ulm, announced that its tandem solar cells demonstrated a 6.07% power conversion efficiency as certified by Fraunhofer ISE.

 Smallest 1 W LEDs enable manufacture of ultrathin LCDs
Osram Opto Semiconductors has introduced the smallest 1 W LEDs for backlighting LCD panels with plenty of light from an extremely small emitter. Measuring just 3 x 3 x 1.6 mm, the two white versions of the new OSLON LX LEDs are perfect for side injection into light guides with a thickness of 2-4 mm for making ultra-thin displays.

Solar Toolbox aids solar-cell inspection and alignment
Cognex has expanded its range of vision alignment and inspection solutions for solar-cell manufacturing processes with the VisionPro Solar Toolbox, which includes preconfigured software tools for photovoltaic (PV) solar production. Users can work either with the basic VisionPro software library or use the preconfigured tool set.

New UV laser offers highest power yet for true CW output
The new Genesis 355-150 S from Coherent sets a new power record for true CW ultraviolet solid-state performance, delivering over 150 mW of TEM00 output for flow cytometry and other live-cell bio applications. Like all Genesis 355 series lasers, it is based on the company's patented optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) technology.

FOCUS ON: Optical coatings
Advances in sputtering benefit coating costs
Magnetron sputtering systems for production of high-precision optical coatings promise benefits in capability over traditional evaporation techniques, as well as potential cost savings compared to alternatives.
Genetic algorithm designs omnidirectional solar-cell coating
To create simpler GRIN solar-cell coatings that transmit well under real-life conditions, researchers at RPI have developed a “genetic” coating-design algorithm that naturally arrives at a top-quality design.
Nanostructured top layer enables wideband antireflection coatings
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision Engineering have fabricated nanostructured coatings with a refractive index of 1.49 on top of a common multilayer substrate.
CNT thin films show high infrared transparency
UCLA researchers have studied the properties of conductive carbon-nanotube (CNT) thin films in the mid- and far-IR spectral range, finding that they have excellent average transmittance up to 22 µm.
