sponsor   The May 2011 issue of Photonics Spectra is now archived on Photonics.com   Imaging in the Ultrafast Lane Observing what happens when atoms interact or proteins fold requires picosecond or faster imaging. Recent innovations promise to allow researchers to capture previously invisible events. That capability could have industrial and medical uses, as can be seen with examples of imaging below and above the visible spectrum. FULL ARTICLE >> Preserving Moore's Law Pushes Lithography to its Limits The race is on to develop the next technology that will enable manufacturers to continue scaling down their chip sizes. Will optics provide the answer everyone is looking for? The brisk march of optical lithography has set the pace for the shrinking size of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits (ICs) that we see today. FULL ARTICLE >> Expert Q&A: Trends in Laser Alignment Laser alignment affords manufacturers great precision and efficiency in assessment of their equipment, allowing them to take minute measurements and correct tiny errors that otherwise could mean big problems down the line, including materials wasted or time lost. To get a picture of current activity in laser alignment, Photonics Spectra turned to experts from two companies in the thick of things: Opto-Alignment Technology Inc. in Indian Trail, N.C., and Pinpoint Laser Systems Inc. in Peabody, Mass. FULL ARTICLE >> Using SBIRs as a Platform for Success Perseverance is the most important factor in garnering a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award, according to Brimrose Corp.'s founder and CEO. And he should know. In 1984, Dr. Ron Rosemeier found himself at the end of his postdoc with the University of Maryland and nothing to show for it. His SBIR applications had been rejected 20 times. He had maxed out his credit cards, piling up $100,000 in debt. He had been unemployed for three months. The dream of this self-described technology geek to start his own photonics company appeared to be over before it had begun.
