Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Engineers in the Solgaard lab have developed a high-speed, random access grating light valve (GLV) for phase modulation to steer and focus light in LIDAR and 3D imaging applications.
Precision in surgical removal of cancer is guided by pathological assessment of resected tissues, and there is a dire need to reduce the time and distance between the critical diagnostic events and the surgical procedure.
