A multi-conjugate adaptive optics demonstrator has delivered astronomical images of remarkable sharpness covering a very large field of view.

In recent years, Germany has built an impressive market and industry base in photovoltaics. Now other European countries are following its lead. From SPIE Professional, January 2009.

Optical fibers containing semiconductor cores, most notably silicon, have been fabricated using well-established commercial fiber draw processes.

Using surface plasmon polaritons to accelerate the recombination of charge carriers increases the data-generation rate of a light-emitting diode.

The observatory's two facilities, a fast-tracking telescope and an optical interferometer, are the result of a strong science agenda supported by three enabling opportunities.
