At VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd., one of their visions is to develop novel energy harvesting solutions with the help of flexible, lightweight organic or perovskite photovoltaics (PV). Then integrate these PV materials with other components, such as energy storage systems, sensors with Bluetooth, or near-field communication features. The easy processing of these materials … Continue reading

In recent years, there is a clear trend of increasingly using random dot pattern generators for 3D sensing measurement applications that utilize structured light methods. Structured light is one of two main methods for 3D depth sensing, the other being Time of Flight. In structured light, a predefined pattern created by a diffractive beam splitter is projected on … Continue reading
The Technion’s Ultrafast Quantum Dynamics Group led by Dr. Michael Krueger has recently received their first laser system, a phase-stable Ti:sa oscillator (venteon CEP5). Due to the travel restrictions, the group performed the installation themselves with remote guidance from the supplier Laser Quantum. According to Dr. Krueger, “Now the fun can begin!” To request more … Continue reading
In a new article, Holo/Or introduces a simple and universal optical setup design for laser surface texturing (LST) that provides functionality superior to direct laser interference patterning (DLIP). The method requires only a single periodic, diffractive optical element (DOE) and a focusing lens, while enabling unlimited freedom for spatial shaping and amplitude variations. The concept … Continue reading
