Optics / Photonics Videos

The photonics group has led the way in developing photonic crystal fibres, pioneered by Professor Philip Russell in 1991 and now a major new area within physics. These optical fibres are able to harness the power of light in many new ways, enhancing existing applications and leading to many new ones. The work is expected to have a major impact in many areas of engineering and technology, including light sources, optical telecommunications, ultra-violet light and x-ray generation, atomic and quantum physics and astronomical imaging.

A team led by scientists at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working "invisibility cloak." The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around a "hidden" object inside with little distortion, making it appear almost as if nothing were there at all.

Welcome To The Invisible World by Cavitar.... A world in which the unimaginable can be recorded on a camera thanks to our laser illumination. Where you get to see through heat and where brightness is no longer considered an obstacle. Where welding imaging is as clear as a day and welding defects can be identified with ease. Where shockwaves are captured with no motion blur. Where researchers, welders, and those with a curious mind can find something new and unique every single time.
