Put your hands together for Katharine Blodgett, one of GE’s past physicist who developed non-reflective glass! Through her method called Langmuir-Blodgett film, she was able to layer molecules on the surface of glass. This allowed for a thin film to develop which reduced glare and helped improve visibility. Her groundbreaking invention was even applied to other devices such as eyeglasses and some camera lenses. Happy Katharine Blodgett Day! #aerospace #research #trailblazer #womeninSTEM

Read about the robustness and scalability of frequency-domain encoding of quantum information in this awesome review by all the big players in the field, many of which I have the privilege to call friends!
Delighted to share the publication of our review paper, "Frequency-bin photonic quantum information," in Optica, coauthored by Marco Liscidini, Alexander Gaeta, Andrew Weiner, and Joseph Lukens! In this mini-review, we summarize how nonlinear optics, electro-optic modulation, pulse shaping, and integrated photonics are all transforming the future of frequency-bin quantum information. Overcoming challenges, particularly in the precise control and manipulation of frequency-bin states, our exploration paints an optimistic picture for the future of this versatile paradigm. https://lnkd.in/eKaP7CuF (Image Credits: the talented Yun-Yi Pai)

Passionate about Microscopy,Super-resolution Microscopy,Guided Mode Resonance Sensor , Nanophotonics,Biophysics,Bioimaging, Microscopy applications, Molecular Tracking with microscopy etc.
Noble Prize 2014 winning Dr. Stefan Hells Stimulated emission depletion (STED) Microscopy Technique.The unique feature about it is depletion of flourophores in excited state by donut shaped lasers to bring them to ground state leading to breaking of diffraction limit. The STED technology along with STORM (stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy) paved way for development of Minimum photon fluxes Microscopy (MINFLUX).

'At the European XFEL, we have a peculiar time structure of the #pulses that come in trains.' There is a train of pulses every 100 milliseconds, with a pulse every 200 nanoseconds within those trains. 'So, if you use these trains of pulses, you can capture a movie,' including of irreversible processes, because the intensity of each pulse is so high that a single one generates an image with sufficient signal to noise ratio.' Sakura Pascarelli, one of three Scientific Directors, explains how the research facility generates the world's largest X-ray #laser, as well as reflecting on her career - a lot of which was spent at the ESRF - The European Synchrotron.

What better way to express our appreciation for light than by photographing it in our day-to-day lives? The beauty of optics and #photonics technology can be seen in light-based art installations, laser shows, public lighting, and natural phenomena. Submit an image of photonics in society from your hometown or travels, and it may be featured in a future issue of #PhotonicsFocus. Submissions can be sent via social media by mentioning us (@SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics) on social media channels, or sent by email to photonicsfocus@spie.org. We are so excited to see light through your eyes!

Beware of the deceptive beauty of laser damage! If you ever experienced this beautiful, but fearsome phenomenon on optics with your ultrafast laser, I highly recommend reading this article published on PhotonicsViews: https://lnkd.in/eW4qjuiS In the article, Gintarė Batavičiūtė, PhD from Lidaris Ltd. with OPTOMAN explains how you can ensure a long lifetime of optics for ultrafast applications, beforehand. The photo was taken from Lidaris Ltd. damage of the week.
