Light emitters for quantum circuits.

The promise of a quantum internet depends on harnessing light to transmit information over fiber optic networks. Researchers in Sweden have developed integrated chips emit single photons on demand without the need for low temperatures.

The work is published in the journal Advanced Quantum Technologies: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qute.202100032

The future of LED displays?

Small and efficient micro-LEDs are a promising technology for the next generation of displays. A new red light micro-LED developed at KAUST promises to boost the future of full-colour displays based on just a single semiconductor.

Details of their device can be found in Optics Letters: https://www.osapublishing.org/ol/fulltext.cfm?uri=ol-46-8-1912&id=450025

Improving optical fiberss.

Distortions in the signals passed through optical fibers are a massive challenge for modern communications infrastructure. University of Rochester researchers have devised a novel technique where pre-shaping the wave front and polarization of the optical signal reduces distortions during transmission.

The results can be viewed in Nature Communications: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22071-w

Kirigami cameras.

University of Houston researchers have developed a kirigami-inspired camera with a curvy, adaptable imaging sensor that could improve image quality in endoscopes, night-vision goggles, artificial compound eyes and fish-eye cameras.
