Some day, luminescent solar lasers may power photovoltaic cells
At last week's Frontiers in Optics meeting, MIT researcher Carmen Rotschild discussed what could be the next step beyond the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC): the luminescent solar laser.
LED device could advance photodynamic therapy for skin cancer
University of California, Irvine scientists are exploring new ways to image cancerous lesions using LEDs that could advance a light-based technique for treating cancer called photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Eulitha unveils photolithography technology for photonics patterning
Eulitha has developed a photolithography technology for low-cost and high-throughput fabrication of periodic photonic nanostructures that has "practically unlimited depth of focus."

Zero-overlap laser system speeds ultrathin wafer dicing
Electro Scientific Industries (ESI) has developed a production-ready system that incorporates its new laser-based "zero-overlap" technique for dicing ultrathin (less than 50 µm thick) silicon wafers.
Laser direct structuring creates low-cost 3D integrated circuits
Laser direct structuring (LDS) creates 3D molded interconnect devices (3D-MIDs) by using a laser and metallization steps to create electrical circuits for surface-mount components on injection-molded plastics.
Dual-wavelength technique rids discoloration in laser-based artwork restoration
While the effectiveness of laser-based cleaning methods for historic art cannot be disputed, a discoloration or "yellowing" effect has been noticed when IR laser wavelengths are used on certain artworks.
Femtoprint targets low-cost fabrication of in-glass microstructures
The goal of the Femtoprint project is to accelerate the fabrication of in-glass microsystems that integrate optical, fluidic, and mechanical functions such as lab-on-a-chip devices or force/displacement sensors.
