I'm trying to create a circuit that will talk to a Motorolla HCS12 mcu. The circuits are going to be reading the voltage and temperature of batteries that are used in a hybrid electric vehicle. The ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

To use fiber optic cables this way, researchers partner with a company running the cables — in this case, Vero Fiber Networks — and attach a box containing a laser and a computer. The laser sends ...

General Atomics mounted its 10-watt OCT in a 12-inch Laser Airborne Communication Turret (LAC-12) developed by its Aeronautical Systems division for precision pointing. According to GA-EMS, the OCT is ...
