Optical and Laser Illusions

Optical illusions (or visual illusions) are tricks that your mind plays on you based on what you think you are seeing. The image that is being visually perceived is deceptive and does not tally with actual reality. So what you are seeing and what comes out after being processed by the …

High Resolution Quantum enhanced LIDAR technology can detect Stealth Aircrafts

Quantum technology (QT) applies quantum mechanical properties such as quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and No-cloning theorem to quantum systems such as atoms, ions, electrons, photons, or molecules. Quantum bit is the basic unit of quantum information.  Whereas in a classical system, a bit is either in one state or the another. …

3D camera technology for computer vision and Metaverse Applications

A regular (non 3D) camera records images either as a still photograph or as moving images known as videos or movies, which in turn are stored in a physical medium such as in a digital system or on photographic film. A camera comprises a lens which focuses light from the …

Laser 3D scanning for fast prototyping of Military systems, reverse engineering, virtual reality, maintenance support and quality control

3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape into the computer world as a digital 3-dimensional representation. 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape and structure of physical objects in a faster and more accurate way using …

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) technology enable optical signal processing, optical communication, biophotonics, and sensing

Photonics is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons (smallest unit of light) as the data carrier instead of electrons (smallest unit of electricity) used in electronic ICs. As light travels at very high speeds, photonics is widely used to transfer huge amounts of data at a very high speed.Thus …

Digital Camera design and manufacturing

A digital camera is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital, largely replacing those that capture images on photographic film.   Digital and digital movie cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an …

Multi-Wavelength Lasers sources for enhancing capacity of data centers and Networks

In communication applications like the internet, the most simple form of optical communication is with a single fiber consisting of a single wavelength laser TX/RX scheme. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different …

DARPA Airborne Energy Well seeks laser propulsion on Aircrafts to power Rechargable Unmanned Aerial Systems

A laser is a device that emits a beam of coherent light through an optical amplification process. Laser propulsion is any method of propelling a spacecraft that uses the energy of laser beams.   There are two main types of laser propulsion, depending on whether the laser is onboard or …

Semi-Active Lasers/Passive seeker technology

Guided missiles work by tracking the moving target’s location in space by specific methods (e.g. using a radar or following its heat signature), chasing it down, and finally hitting it with accuracy. Guidance systems in missiles can be of various types, which serve different operational purposes.   Homing guidance systems control the …
