LightLane will hopefully provide cyclists with some much needed safety on car-cluttered roads and we have high hopes for the forthcoming commercial product.  The LightLane currently uses two Diode-Pumped Solid State green lasersRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/05/laser-imaging-system-is-the-worlds-fastest.html Thu, 21 May 2009 17:35:05 +0000 Even as consumer camera drop in price and rapidly increase in quality, none of them could compare to the system researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles are developing.  They are working on an imaging system that utilizes “supercontinuum laser pulses” to capture incredibly fast moving events such as neuron communication. The system, dubbed Steam (Serial Time-Encoded Amplified imaging), creates a shutter speed equivalent of half a billionth of a second through a speedy laser pulse and captures 6.1 million images a second. The research team is continuing to work on this project to hone the quality ofRead more...]]>
