Information Acquisition, Processing, Display and Perception

  • Spotlight Summary by Don C. Lamb

    • High-throughput FCS using an LCOS spatial light modulator and an 8 × 1 SPAD array
    • If two heads are better than one, then eight must be unbeatable. This can be seen in the recent work of Colyer and coworkers, where eight authors joined up with eight detectors to design a high-throughput Fluorescence...

Optical Design and Instrumentation

  • Spotlight Summary by Brynmor Davis

    • Comprehensive microscopic model of the extraordinary optical transmission
    • Optical science has been greatly influenced by experiments measuring the behavior of light transmitted through apertures. Famous examples include Grimaldi’s description of diffraction by a circular aperture and Young’s...

Optics in Biology and Medicine

  • Spotlight Summary by Shalin Mehta

    • A Bayesian method for single molecule, fluorescence burst analysis
    • A modern microscopist will probably agree with the assertion that "Fluorescence imaging is an indispensable instrument in the treatment of nearly every recondite question in modern biology" (with apologies to Lord...

Optoelectronics

  • Spotlight Summary by Walter Margulis

    • Resolving optical illumination distributions along an axially symmetric photodetecting fiber
    • The awareness of the limited resources of our planet has turned the efficiency of electronic and photonic devices into a major concern. Integration has become truly important to minimize material usage and to reduce the...

  • Spotlight Summary by Zhibing Ge

    • Cholesteric liquid crystal devices with nanoparticle aggregation
    • Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) have been intensively studied for their unique selective reflection characteristics, since they reflect only circularly polarized light coinciding with the LC helical rotation...
