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 Prof. James Harris' laboratory have developed a compact optics and microfluidics device to continuously monitor the hemostatic state of patients undergoing heart surgery, dialysis or other procedures.
Stanford researchers at the Moerner Lab have designed a family of point spread functions (PSFs), the Tetrapod PSFs, for high precision three-dimensional position measurement of individual particle positions over a large, customizable depth range in optical microscopy.
