In people who experience photosensitive epilepsy, seizures can be triggered by visual stimuli, like video games, that are displayed at certain wavelengths. Lenses made with cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC), a material that is sensitive to changes in temperature as well as the electrical field, could help block these harmful wavelengths through thermal control. The CLC lenses are the result of a collaboration between the University of Glasgow and the University of Birmingham: #Photonics #LightSources #Lenses

Europe's Chips Joint Undertaking (#ChipsJU) is working with the #PIXEurope consortium to establish a pilot line for #PICs. Bringing together Europe's top research teams, officials say the goal is to set up the world's first open access PIC ecosystem.

A team comprising scientists from University of California, San Francisco, University of California, Santa Cruz, and University of California, Berkeley collaborated on an optogenetics-based approach to controlling abnormal neural activity in humans. Their findings could someday provide an alternative to surgery for patients who have seizures that cannot be managed with medication: #Photonics #Optics

A theory posited by University of Birmingham researchers explores the nature of photons, showing how they are emitted by atoms or molecules and shaped by their environment. The theory explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level and allows researchers to define the precise shape of a single photon. The nature of this interaction leads to infinite possibilities for light to exist and propagate through its surrounding environment: #Photonics #Quantum

#Photonics Spectra Week in Brief: ??The U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries up to $1.5 billion in direct funding through the CHIPS and Science Act. ?? PI (Physik Instrumente) Group has completed the construction of additional electronics production space at its Rosenheim, Germany, site. ???Semiconductor company?Aeluma?has been awarded a contract by?NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration?to develop quantum dot photonic integrated circuits (PICs) on silicon. #Semiconductors #PICs #Quantum Catch up on more news from the week here:

TKH Vision has opened a showroom in Cupertino, Calif., representing its brands for 2D and 3D vision technologies. The office marks an expanded presence in the U.S. for the Netherlands-based company: #Photonics #Cameras

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, in collaboration with HOLOEYE Photonics AG, have developed a compact liquid crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) microdisplay with high refresh rates that enables improved optical modulation. LCOS microdisplays are characterized by low power consumption, small size, and lightweight design. They are used in switchable adaptive optics, particularly as phase modulators, and as projection displays in AR and VR: #Photonics #Displays

Lightsynq, a startup developing optical interconnect technology, has raised approximately $18 million in a Series A funding round. Founded by former Harvard quantum networking experts and research leads from Amazon Web Services Center for Quantum Networking, LightSynq is developing optical quantum interconnects that enable hardware providers to link quantum processors: #Photonics #Quantum #Optics

The #europeanunion is working to establish a new pilot line for #PICs. #Sivers is halting plans for a spinout #photonics business. planqc is building a 1,000-qubit quantum computer system. And the Korea University College of Medicine may have found a way to better diagnose, and treat depression. These stories and more on Photonics Spectra Now. Have a tip for the PSN crew?
