A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210174 discusses nonlinear optics with structured light. Light can be tailored, much like cloth, weaving and stitching a pattern ...

After futzing around with a cheap pico projector, a webcam and a little bit of software, [Jas Strong] built herself a 3d scanner. In spite of the dozens of Kinect-based scanner projects, we’ve seen ...

The tale of the Microsoft Xbox Kinect is one of those sad situations where a great product was used in an application that turned out to be a bit of a flop and was discontinued because of it, despite ...

In a recent article, I looked at the demise of Lytro, maker of the first consumer “light field” camera, and what it meant for the future of this technology in mobile devices. As intriguing as some of ...

An exciting prospect in modern optics is to exploit patterns of light — how the light looks in its many degrees of freedom — often referred to as “structured light.” Each distinct pattern could form ...

Quantum mechanics has come a long way during the past 100 years but still has a long way to go. Researchers now review the progress being made in using structured light in quantum protocols to create ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

Research offers a new approach to studying complex light in complex systems, such as transporting classical and quantum light through optical fiber, underwater channels, living tissue and other highly ...
