Compact, low-power system opens doors for photon-efficient drone and satellite-based environmental monitoring and mapping. Researchers have developed a compact and lightweight single-photon airborne lidar system…
The transition to chaos is ubiquitous in nonlinear systems. Continuous-wave-driven photonic-chip-based Kerr microresonators exhibit spatiotemporal chaos, also known as chaotic modulation instability. For more than…
Geologists are using new airborne lidar equipment to study earthquakes and provide comprehensive before-and-after pictures of earthquake zones. The lidar (light detection and ranging) equipment…
