as well as miniature NS honeycomb cells, from nylon using selective laser sintering for experimentation. NS honeycombs can be made from a variety of materials to suit distinct applications.

and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as UV curing and disinfection. A further application field is plant lighting, for

and manufactured a module enabling irradiation with UV-B light of a specific wavelength. In this particular case, LEDS emitting at a wavelength around 310 nm are used to stimulate health-promoting secondary metabolites in plants.

The optical power can be adjusted flexibly between 0 and 100%.%The novel concept was tested successfully in experiments at the Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ.

Arrayat the fair, the FBH exhibits novel dual-wavelength diode lasers that are suitable for use in miniaturized, portable laser measurement systems for Raman spectroscopy applications.

The laser sources alternatingly emit light from only one chip at two different stabilized wavelengths, which are defined by gratings implemented into the semiconductor chip.

Wavelength selection is realized by separately addressable sections within the laser. The innovative diode laser chip is ideally applicable for SERDS (Shifted Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy),

enabling to measure Raman spectra under real-world conditions even in highly fluorescent environments and when exposed to daylight.

Moreover, SERDS improves the detection limit by one order of magnitude compared to standard Raman spectroscopy. With these FBH tiny monolithic light sources on chip level, a compact SERDS measurement head that is only as small as a laser pointer was realized for the first time.

This device is the basis for a unique miniaturized and versatile SERDS spectroscopy system, enabling in-situ measurements in various security and health relevant fields including biology, medicine, food control, and pharmacy.

Applications in absorption spectroscopy and for generating terahertz radiation are also conceivable. Arrayfiber-coupled demonstrators newly developed at FBH for industrial use aim at integrating laser radiation with high spectral brightness into various systems

thus enabling easier usage. Now, efficient and compact laser sources are at hand emitting in the near-infrared on multi-watt level (CW operation) with a narrow-band spectrum and a stigmatic, nearly Gaussian laser beam

which is independent of the optical power level. Such sources are demanded highly for the pumping of solid-state lasers and frequency doubling.

On a footprint of less than 10 cm2, the micro module integrates a 1064 nm distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) tapered laser,

a micro-optical assembly designed to maintain brightness and mounted with sub-micrometer precision and temperature-stabilizing components.

The module is equipped also with a single-mode fiber output with standard FC/APC connector.

Arraythe institute develops highly brilliant diode lasers in a great variety of designs and packages, covering the wavelength range from 630 nm to 1180 nm.

Single emitters with a stripe width of 90 m, for example, reach peak brilliance results with 3. 5 W/mm-mrad.

For rapid prototyping applications the FBH has developed DBR ridge waveguide (RW) lasers with 24 individually addressable emitters featuring a wavelength spacing>0. 3 nm and a spectral width<1 pm.

They showed how a single nanoresonator can manipulate light to cast a very large"reflection."

"Making an object look 10,000 times larger than its physical size has lots of implications in technologies related to light,

Much like sound, light can resonate, amplifying itself as the surrounding environment manipulates the physical properties of its wave energy.

which the wavelength of light is much larger than in a vacuum, which allows light waves to resonate more powerfully.

The device condenses light to a size smaller than its wavelength meaning it can gather a lot of light energy,

and then scatters the light over a very large area, harnessing its output for imaging applications that make microscopic particles appear huge."

"We are developing photodetectors based on this technology and, for example, it could be helpful for photographers wanting to shoot better quality pictures in weak light conditions,

In addition, Yu envisions simply letting the resonator emit that energy in the form of infrared light toward the sky,

"This research opens up a new way to manipulate the flow of light, and could enable new technologies in light sensing and solar energy conversion,

Silicon solar cells generate electricity by absorbing photons of visible and infrared light, while perovskite cells harvest only the visible part of the solar spectrum where the photons have more energy.

Colin Bailie, Stanford bsorbing the high-energy part of the spectrum allows perovskite solar cells to generate more power per photon of visible light than silicon cells,

or light it likely will degrade. We have a ways to go to show that perovskite solar cells are stable enough to last 25 years.

They used spectroscopy to confirm the formulation as well as visualize the delivery of the particles and drug molecules.

Scientists also can make them glow at certain wavelengths and tune them to release the drugs in the presence of the cellular environment.
