Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

The associate works with scientists in the Sources and Detectors Group in the Applied Physics Division on advanced metrology for faint light detection. The associate performs a diverse set of duties ...

Solid-state lasers require optical pumping; the most efficient method would be to use a narrow-line source at a suitable absorption frequency larger than the laser’s, but as close as possible. The ...

The University of Virginia has been awarded an $8 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to lead a groundbreaking project aimed at developing next-generation optical ...

Researchers have shown that a fluorescence detection system that doesn't contain any lenses can provide highly sensitive detection of deadly microorganisms in drinking water. With further development, ...

Scientists have successfully upgraded the IceCube neutrino observatory at the south pole. The instrument detects elusive neutrino particles, trillions of which pass through all of us every second.
