Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS) are key to maintaining the precise orientation of CubeSats, microsatellites, and other small satellite platforms. High-fidelity optical subsystems, ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Reported in ...

The Optipact motion sensors determine rotational or translational velocities of machinery or products in a wide variety of applications. The sensors are built around an optical system: The velocity of ...

Photonic crystal sensor shows over 91% accuracy for cervical cancer screening, maintaining performance across varied ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

Synergy between the primary optics and sensor in precision imaging defines the entire system’s operational boundaries. A significant amount of optical potential can be lost to the ‘crop factor’ when ...

For electrical engineers working in almost any part of the wired or wireless spectrum, the spectrum analyzer is a critical test and measurement tool. For optical engineering, the equivalent tool is ...

Air bubble sensors are used to detect air or gas bubbles in flexible clear plastic tubes. They are intended to prevent air infusions. The air bubble sensor has no contact with the liquid and is ...

A new technical paper titled “Massively parallel and universal approximation of nonlinear functions using diffractive processors” was published by researchers at UCLA. “Nonlinear computation is ...
